Join Us for a Night of Enchantment and Elegance at the 5th Annual Heart of the Community Gala & Auction

The Rotary Club of Cranbrook’s 5th annual Heart of the Community Gala & Auction takes place on April 26, 2025, at the Colombo Lodge in Cranbrook. This year, we invite you to step into the vibrant world of The Big Easy – A New Orleans Soiree. It’s an evening where glamour meets philanthropy.

Come and enjoy an exquisite dinner specially prepared for the occasion, enjoy live and silent auctions with tons of great items to bid on, and dance the night away to the sounds of live music. Funds raised at this special evening support local community initiatives and international projects that make a difference in the lives of those in need. Dress in your semi-formal best, and feel free to embrace theme with your attire. Whether you opt for bold and festive or elegantly understated, your presence will contribute to the night’s magic.

Cocktails are at 5 pm, dinner at 6pm with dance to follow.
