TheEugene O’Neill Theater is full of local charm. It’s the ideal venue for an elegant evening.Since the event’s inception, Waterford Rotary has raised over $100,000 to support local charities. This year’s partners and beneficiaries include Sound Community Services, the New LondonCustomHouseMaritimeMuseum and the Women’s Center of SE CT. Prizes donated to the Silent Auction include items from around the area. The event is not only a financial success but also a success of fellowship and volunteerism.

The $35.00 ticket price (or 2 for $60. pre-event price) is a well-spent sum because not only will ticket holders experience quality beverages, fine dining and entertainment, but the money will help the Waterford Rotary in its commitment to “Service Above Self.”
