West Allis Community Dinner/Dance

Sunday, 18 March 2007

"Supporting a Healthy Community” is the theme of the 18th Annual West Allis Community Dinner/Dance sponsored by the West Allis Community Improvement Foundation in partnership with the West Allis Rotary Club and will be held Saturday, May 12, 2007, at Summit Place, 6737 W. Washington St., West Allis, 6:00-11:00 p.m.  The Greater Milwaukee Free Health Clinic, located in West Allis, is the beneficiary of this year’s event. Proceeds from the event will be used to purchase needed medical equipment and supplies. The Greater Milwaukee Free Clinic (GMFC) has been operational since December 1995 as an ALL VOLUNTEER medical clinic providing free medical care and pharmaceuticals to low income, working, uninsured persons who cannot afford health care and who do not qualify for governmental poverty programs. The number of patients visiting the clinic has increased 47% in the last three years, and GMFC anticipates serving over 2,100 patients this year. This is evidence that the uninsured population is increasing and in desperate need of health care.  The Clinic is a non-government supported organization that has been funded largely by individuals, religious organizations, foundations, and the community. The evening features buffet dinner by Rupena’s Summit Café, “Taste of West Allis” sweet table, dancing to the great sounds of One More Time, exciting Silent Auction, and much more. Tickets are $45/person, or $400 for table of 10, and are available at West Allis City Hall, West Allis-West Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, or mail your reservation to the Foundation at 7525 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis, WI 53214.  Reservation deadline is May 1. Additionally, donations of items and services are being sought, please contact Auction Coordinator Jeanette Wardinski at 414-302-8292.
