"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
April 23, 2010 at Marriott West

A fun evening was had by all at our 14th annual gala.  Over 230 people celebrated the accomplishments of Rainbow Village and Van Brokaw's dedication to helping people with developmental disabilities.   The event was a huge success with over $103,000 raised to help provide more neighborhood homes for adults with developmental disabilities and continue to maintain and improve our current 49 homes throughout St. Louis.

A special thanks to Joan Perry and her committee for organizing a fun-filled event with a great variety of silent and oral auction items.  The talents of our auctioneer, Kim Tucci of The Pasta House Co., brought in a record amount for the fabulous oral auction items.
