Join the Savannah Children’s Choir for an innovative new fundraiser called “A Chance Evening: Pate, Paella or Picnic”.

Participants will be guaranteed a delicious three-course dinner with wine and a chance to meet new friends while supporting the Savannah Children’s Choir. What they won’t be guaranteed is where they’re dining or who they’ll be dining with! Upon purchasing a ticket on the organization’s website, www.savannahchoir.org, guests will be randomly assigned to one of the hosted theme dinners. The week prior to the event they will be sent instructions on where to go and hints on what to wear.

Will it be cocktail dress for a seated dinner at a restored downtown home, casual-but-elegant garb to enjoy paella in a art-filled loft, or blue jeans for a delightful picnic overlooking the marsh? Only chance will tell!

Cost: $50 per person

More Info: To purchase tickets or for more information, go to www.savannahchoir.org. The deadline to purchase tickets is Monday, September 20.
