Firefighters Gala - February 12th TONIGHT
The Rotary Club of the University Area is proud to announce the Rotary Firefighters Home (“RFFH”) is holding its first (annual) Gala on Friday, February 12, 2016, at 6:00 p.m., at the Royal Sonesta Hotel located at 2222 W. Loop South, Houston, Texas 77027. This event is the first major fundraiser for the building of the home. The theme for the Gala is "Hope Rises!" This year’s gala promises to be a superb event. Our keynote speakers are Helen Reisler and Retired District Chief Steve Sparks. Our MC is Emmy award winning talk show host, Houston's own Ernie Manouse.
Helen was the president of the Rotary Club of NYC on 9/11 and is the Rotary Alt. International Representative to the United Nations (2007-present). Chief Sparks worked at "ground zero" on 9/11. Both will bring their own unique personal perspectives about 9/11 and about firefighters and first responders. We are thrilled to have these two distinguished speakers and of course, to have Ernie Manouse as our MC.
