Service Guild to host annual gala

The Service Guild of Birmingham will host the 25th Annual Guild Gala on Saturday, March 9 at The Club.

Guests will enjoy this black tie event starting with a cocktail reception, formal seated dinner and live auction hosted by Jack Granger of Granger Thaggard Auctioners and concluding with music provided by The Undergrounders.

Winning bidders of the live auction could go home with a trip to Scotland, including golf at the historic St. Andrews course, a week to Costa Rica, jewelry from Bromberg’s, a three-bedroom waterfront house in Ireland, a beach vacation to WaterColor, Fla., or even a private cooking class/dinner and wine pairing for 10 at Gianmarco’s.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit The Bell Center for Early Intervention Program, a facility dedicated to maximizing the potential of children from birth to three years of age who are at risk for developmental delay.

For more than 29 years, The Bell Center has provided critical early intervention services including physical, occupational and speech therapies; special education services; and nutritional counseling to these children. But more importantly, The Bell Center helps the families of these children as they begin the lifelong journey of providing for their children with special needs. Each year, The Bell Center provides services to more than 100 children from throughout the central Alabama area.

The Service Guild provides volunteer services to Bell Center programs and financial support through fundraising efforts.

Correction: The Homewood Star mistakenly printed in the February issue that the Guild Gala would take place on Feb. 21; this year's event is scheduled for March 9.
