It seems to me that more people would attend the "normal" dinner that was held in previous years. Many people are not interested in gambling (even with play money) and $100.00 for the gala without a formal dinner seems like a lot of money. I hope those being honored are not disappointed if it is not as popular as it has been in the past. Congratulations to all those who are being nominated. more ›
