This is a reminder that tonight the Northwest Progressive Institute’s Spring Fundraising Gala will be held at the Mercer Island Community Center (8236 SE 24th Street). A reception begins at 6:30 pm and the main program is at 7:15 pm.
This year’s speakers include Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA-1), Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl, State Rep. Gael Tarleton (D-36), and NPI founder Andrew Villeneuve. Tickets are $60 for individuals, $90 for households, and $20 for students and “those living lightly”. Kids are free. Tickets can be purchased here or at the door.
I’ve been to these in the past, and they’re quite enjoyable!
There’s a certain inconsistency between the terms ‘Gala’ and ‘Community Center’.
Does the ticket to admission include use of plumbed restrooms or is that something they plan to auction off as part of the festivities?
@1 Last fall it cost $50,000 just to meet Mittster, plus you paid for your own drinks, and I don’t doubt they had a guy at the bathroom door charging $1,000 (cash only, no credit cards) for piss breaks.
