History repeats itself for the Forney Education Foundation. Once again, the Annual Gala and Casino Night has sold out ahead of the date, which this year is set for Saturday, April 24 at Hidden Creek in Heath. This year’s theme is Mardi Gras and we have the usual gaming plus the Incredible Edibles table, Live and Silent Auctions, DJ and dancing, and - new this year - a Wine Pull! The amazing support shown by the sponsors and community will enable FEF to continue its support of the teachers, staff, and students in Forney ISD and is going to make our annual Gala as amazing as always.

But if you missed your ticket, this year’s Silent Auction is digital! What a terrific round up of some great donated items! Bradford Law Firm donated a simple will, and there’s a consultation and massage donated by Maverick Chiropractic. There is a custom-crafted wooden U.S. flag donated by Vicky and Lance White, as well as 4 rounds of golf at Dallas Athletic Club--and Titleist golf balls donated by Jodi Campbell. And our friends at Andrews Distributing donated all the beer for the Gala as well as a neon sign and logo chair! God Art Landscaping has given a $250 gift card to apply to landscaping from their company.

Want to wish someone a happy birthday? Sign Gypsies has donated a gift card to do just that for anybody in 75126. Sandra Taylor has donated a Cooperstown Collectors Bear, and you can add a little sparkle to your life from Touchstone Jewelry and Cappie McBeth. Learn how to sew with sewing classes from Dian Wade Sewing! Learn to swim this summer with swimming lessons donated by Randa Johnson, and have amazing photos taken by Britney Tarno! Enjoy a hydrofacial donated by Skinsense, or 6 pet grooming appointments donated by Forney ISD via Off the Leash. How about a day on the links at Lake Fork Golf Course donated by Thad Wilson?
