Once again, as the calendar rolls over to a new year, the Foundation turns its attention to our biggest event of the year. We hope you will be just as excited as we are to be a part of Rouge after Dark, with a jazzy theme for  the 2014 Gala. The beautiful Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex is the site of this year's gala and I think you will enjoy the wide selection of items we will offer on the menu. Food stations with rare delicacies will be accompanied by the best in world class jazz. You will be able to enjoy the entertainment and have your meal at a time and location that suits you throughout the evening. I encourage you to arrange for your tickets early because we expect another sell-out event. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Sincerely,
Chad Hanna, President & CEO, Rouge Valley Health System Foundation
