PHOTO OF THE DAY: READY TO GALA

These are among nearly 200 place settings ready to greet guests attending the 14th annual Freeman Regional Health Services Foundation Gala tonight — Saturday, Jan. 25. The sold-out event will begin with a social hour starting at 5 p.m., where those attending will be able to peruse and bid on 102 donated silent auction items. Dinner and programming will follow, including a live auction featuring an additional 12 items.

Presented by the Hofer Family in loving memory of Wyona Hofer, this year’s event celebrates the theme “Strengthening Rural Healthcare Together” and will raise funds for the Strengthening Care Endowment — a fund dedicated to supporting further education and professional development for Freeman Regional Health Services’ team.
