We would be delighted for you to join us at this year’s RUF Gala night on May 21st
The elegant event will be held at Stan Mansion, 2408 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago IL, starting at 6 PM
Purchase your table today to enjoy a sit-down dinner evening presented by actor Tudor Petrut, accompanied by fine music in the company of singer Paula Seling. Listen to the tales of "Via Transilvanica" as only Alin Useriu can tell them while savoring tasty food with Romanian accents by chef Ovidiu Pop. Also featuring violinist Daniela Bisenius, Bane Djordejevic at the keyboard, and our DJ Cipri Pop.
We believe this is a great occasion for us to reconnect and take a look at the past two years, to everything we accomplished together.
The projects we had, the impact we've made, and the gratitude for everyone involved.
For the entire RUF family, every project is important and the work and dedication of our volunteers prove that.
We would love to reveal our project very close to home, a partnership between RUF and the Romanian Community - ROCO Chicago. We would be very honored to have you join us, be a part of this big dream, and celebrate together.
We look forward to spending the evening with you, and you are most welcome to invite your friends to attend also.
