About the evening

The 2023 Hope Dinner went to Paris for the evening, with a deco border, a gold Eiffel Tower and a navy skyline on the invitation.

Hope stands for Helping Other People Enjoy. Every December the club trades its usual meeting for a night out together, and the evening doubles as the club's holiday gift drive, with members and guests buying gift cards for area families that are given out through Giving Day and partner agencies.
