Wesley House Family Services celebrates its 31st annual Valentine’s Gala, Friday, February 14, 6:30 to 9:30 pm, on the grounds of the historic Curry Mansion Inn in Key West.

Gala highlights include abundant dining and libations included in the ticket price. VIP admission includes open premium bars, passed hors d’ houvres and full dinner buffet by Hard Rock Café. General Admission tickets include open bars by Sloppy Joe’s and Rick’s/Durty Harry’s and a full Hard Rock Café dinner buffet. In addition to splendiferous feasting comes world-class entertainment – Howard Livingston as Master of Ceremonies, and music and dancing with the band Honey Mouth featuring Bubba Low Notes, Raven Cooper & Friends.

An annual favorite that draws local and visiting revelers by the hundreds, the Gala’s purpose is to raise money for Wesley House programs that provide crucial support to child welfare and family preservation throughout the Florida Keys. 100% of proceeds from the 2014 Gala will aid in providing support for foster families in areas that statutory funding does not, and assist in purchasing playground equipment for the Inez Martin Child Development Center.

Ticket prices are: $ 50 advance general admission, $55 general admission at the door; $100 reserved VIP seating. For ticket information and locations visit www.wesleyhouse.org.
