the rvc education foundation gala

I was thrilled to be asked to photograph this very special event again this year! It’s always a fun night filled with lots of familiar, friendly faces, along with great entertainment, and special honorees.

This year’s theme was “Celebrate Broadway” with some very talented singers/actors from both the Middle and High schools performing scenes from their shows (Annie and Carousel respectively).

There were also honors given out to some very special members of the community. The Honorable Frank Yanelli was the gala honoree and a real pillar of the community.

The recipients of the Ruth Fins Memorial Award Karen Bauer and Gene Kaplan are both important and amazing teachers in the Music Department. In fact, Mrs. Bauer was my chorus teacher back in my days in South Side!! So glad to see that she is still there, working with the students who love her.

There were SO many great images from the evening, it was so difficult to decide what to post. If you’d like to see all of the photos from the evening, please visit the online album HERE. And look out for some of the pictures in The Herald as well as I’m told they will be making an appearance in an upcoming issue.
