The Nassau Humane Society will host its first ever Gala, “For the Love of Animals.” The Gala will benefit their new facility which opened last year. This grand event will be held at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, Talbot Ballroom beginning at 6:00 pm with a Cocktail Reception and Dinner at 7:00pm. Nikos Westmoreland, who Co-anchors on First Coast Living, will be the Guest Speaker and the 21 piece Big Band, Crescendo Amelia will supply the music for dancing.
There are two “Big Dog” Platinum Sponsors, Fernandina Beach Animal Clinic and First Coast Community Bank. Both of these businesses have generously contributed $3,000 to enable this Gala to become reality. The Ritz-Carlton has also been kind in their contribution to this worthy cause. There are four levels of sponsorship available as well as individual tickets at $150 per person.
A Silent Auction will be held the evening of the Gala. Local merchants have donated a variety of items for bidding. The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island donated a one-night stay and a one 50-minute massage, Marriott Saw Grass donated a one-night stay at their resort and Crawford Jewelry added a $300 gift certificate. Other items include an autographed Kenny Loggins guitar and an Oyster Roast hosted by Anglea Wallace Pierson. Bidding will also be available for a three-night stay at Paul and Mary Anne Murphy’s New Orleans home. These are just a few of the Silent Auction items that will be enticing the attendees on April 18.
