Washington, DC 20045
6:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.

The Gala - our signature event - is the culmination of the Rural Coalition's activities for the 2008 calendar year. The Gala brings together our members, friends and business associates for a night of elegant dress and dining among their peers in the agriculture and farming communities.

This black-tie event begins with an exclusive VIP Reception for distinguished guests from the areas of politics, business and culture. Throughout the evening guests will help us honor friends, leaders and allies for their courageous support of the Rural Coalition and of our priorities in the 2007 Farm Bill. A multi-course dinner followed by dancing accompanied by the sophisticated musical stylings of a live band highlight the Gala.

Read the GALA invitation from Executive Director Lorette Picciano and
Chairpersons John Zippert, Georgia Good, and Rudy Arredondo.
