Patterson Park Neighborhood Association is hosting a Bicentennial Gala to celebrate 200 years of history and 26 years of community. This fundraiser/semi-formal dance hopes to increase awareness of PPNA's mission and goals, and to further promote growth of the community. Attendees of the event will participate in a semi-formal affair featuring light appetizers from local restaurants, open-bar providing beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages, entertainment, and a silent auction featuring a variety of local business and artists. Proceeds of the event will go towards accomplishing PPNA mission and goals including greening initiatives, growth and development, neighborhood promotion, and increasing safety and sanitation of the neighborhood.
