AnnualGala 2024 - Boombox Ball

Description

Grab your can of AquaNet and dust off that Rubik's Cube.  We're headed back to the 80's.  This year's theme for the 2024 McHenry Area Chamber's annual gala is Boombox Ball: A Totally Tubular '80's Party.  

Doors open at 6 p.m.  The gala includes an open bar, appetizers, 4 course dinner, dancing with Derek's Digital DJ Service, a raffle, silent auction, and a wine and whiskey pull.  Attendees can wear cocktail attire, but dressing to theme is encouraged.  

In addition to dinner and dancing, we will honor the winner of the Frank E. Low Award (FELA).  This is the Chamber's highest honor accorded to an individual for distinguished community service.  We are excited to award this year's winner, Mike Mrachek!
