As the days grow longer in March, most of us are looking forward to spring and warmer weather–I know that I am!
With spring comes the much-anticipated fundraiser and party of the season: The Bixby Depths of Discovery Gala on Friday, May 15th from 7 to 11 PM. This year’s theme is inspired by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne–think steampunk meets the Nautilus and the Giant Squid for an unforgettable night of adventure beneath the waves.
Like the novel itself, this year’s theme invites us to venture into the unknown with curiosity and courage. Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a world of wonder–strange creatures, hidden treasures, and unexplored territory–reminding us that there is always more to learn when we dare to dive deeper.
As you all know, I’m very new to the community. By next year, I’m sure that I’ll know many of you much better! As I begin learning more about the people, places, and traditions that make this community so special, I’ll need some help with three important things for the Gala.
We’re looking for sponsors, donations for our silent auction, and volunteers to help bring the event to life. Want to showcase your design skills and help us create an underwater Victorian fantasy? Can you lend a hand with set-up on the day of the event? Do you have other talents or ideas you want to share? I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at jennifer.pearson@bixbylibrary.org.
I’ll be sending sponsorship letters to–and soliciting silent auction items from–some of you reading this in the near future. You’re also welcome to fill out this form to become a sponsor or donate to the silent auction, though you’ll likely see me in person soon! Now that it’s getting warmer, I’ll be out and about more, and I can’t wait to connect.
Please read on for your formal invitation to The Depths of Discovery Gala, and don’t forget to check out all the Bixby activities in the meantime!
