2008 Dinner with the ARTs
Bonus
You’ll be one of the very first citizens to enjoy the new
Kongresshalle! Yep, our new Civic Center is the venue for our annual
Dinner with the Arts on Sunday, Jan. 20. Our 28th annual event that
features a delicious catered meal, local entertainers, an art display,
and fellowship with fellow arts lovers is built around the theme:
It’s an Arts World!
-
Tickets are available at The
Crossing (formerly China-n-Things) and the Chamber of Commerce through
January 17th.
-
Prices are $22 for general
admission, $20 for GNBAC members, and $15 for students.
-
Entertainment will revolve
around the theme of the arts in different countries of the world.
-
Tables of 10 may be reserved,
after purchasing tickets, by calling Bonnie Sarkozi at 625-4248.
But first, hum along (with
apologies to Disney):
“… there’s so much that
we share,
that it’s time
we’re aware
it’s an ‘arts’
world after all!”

Treat yourself!
Be sure to visit The Crossing (formerly China-n-Things). With a new
location, new look, and new name, they still support the local arts
scene by selling tickets for many of our events. Stop by 322 W. San
Antonio St. (across from Huisache Grill) to peruse their fashions &
accessories, gifts, and décor. We do appreciate their helpful staff and
admire their lovely new look!
’We see a bright golden haze
on the meadow …
... over at Circle Arts Theatre, where
rehearsals have begun of Oklahoma! Plan to surrey on over on opening
weekend of the Jan. 31 - March 2 show. Due to the recent Broadway

out to call 837-6172 for your reservations!
