🌺 Event Recap: Games and Laughter Aloha-Style G.A.L.A. 🌴
Wow, what a night full of tropical-themed festive fun! Our Games and Laughter Aloha-Style G.A.L.A. was truly a night to remember — filled with laughter, friendship, and the spirit of aloha.
We are deeply grateful to our generous sponsors whose support made this special evening possible:
- Surfboard Sponsor – Family Private Care
- Community Sponsor – Cobb EMC Foundation
- Ukulele Sponsor – Mahjongg Maven
- Hula Sponsors – Cindy Haslock, ComforCare, and Janet Stanley
- Tribute Sponsor – Joe and Linda Barta
A heartfelt thank you also goes to the many individuals and businesses who donated or bid on our silent and live auction items — your generosity helps fund our ongoing community programs.
🌸 Celebration Highlights
We’ve received such wonderful feedback on the event — and it’s easy to see why! Our Split-the-Pot winner went home with $600, and our Lei Game winner (believe it or not!) was a hula dancer visiting all the way from California!
The Live Auction sent winners off on incredible adventures — from Italy and South Africa to a beautiful beach house in Florida and a weekend getaway in Ellijay. Every one-of-a-kind silent auction item also found a happy new home, adding even more excitement to the evening.
