(Winchester, KY) Lady Veterans Connect will host their inaugural Lady Veterans Gala on Monday, November 8th in Lexington at the Hilton Downtown, 369 West Vine Street from 6:00pm to 10:00pm.
The evening is all about embracing the ‘sheroes’ of the armed forces. The event will have a red-carpet entrance so guests can see the veterans as they arrive followed by the welcome address at 6:00pm. Dinner will be served at 7:00pm. Gala guests will be able to enjoy entertainment, raffles, and a silent auction.
Female veterans will get to enjoy the gala free with prior registration. You can purchase a table for ten for $600 and individual tickets are $75.00.
Phyllis Abbott, Executive Director says “Kentucky is currently the home to over 24,000 women veterans. We honor our lady veterans every year but couldn’t accommodate everyone who wanted to participate from family, friends, and supporters. By moving it to the Hilton Downtown it’s gives us a chance to increase awareness and our reach about the contributions these ladies have done for the military. We want them to come out and enjoy the evening as we kickoff activities and events for Veterans Day (November 11th). I hope you join us and support our initiatives.”
