The Selkirk College Gala 2013 took place at Nelson's Tenth Street Campus on Saturday with more than 200 community members coming out for an evening of celebration. Students put on an amazing night from start to finish at the annual showcase of Selkirk talent.
Selkirk College students from five programs dazzled the community on Saturday night at Nelson's Mary Hall with a memorable Gala 2013.

The annual fundraising dinner and auction was sold-out with more than 200 Selkirk College supporters taking in an evening of fine food, exceptional service, inspiring speeches and energetic entertainment. Students from five programs teamed up to deliver the evening: Professional Cooking Level II, Resort and Hotel Management, Aviation, Adult Special Education and Contemporary Music & Technology. From meticulously prepared hors d'oeurves to a four-course meal to the raucous disco set that closed the evening, it was a night to remember.

The annual event took months of planning and is a valuable tool for students to gain practical experience at a showcase event. A total of 85 students helped put together the evening.
Contemporary Music & Technology students broke out the 1970s fashions and put on two sets of disco music.
Gala 2013 is an important fundraising evening that puts focus on a specific program each year. This year's silent auction portion of the event was coordinated by the Adult Special Education Program that assembled 175 items for bid. Money raised from the silent auction will now be used as a resource for the program to bolster education opportunities.
