The Gala
At R-K turns 100 years old, her alumnae and friends have so much to celebrate! We have a full school of students and a vibrant, dedicated alumnae base. The current 1920s era school building is well-maintained and has become a Central West End landmark. On March 10, 2012 we celebrate our heritate and toast to the future with the Centennial Gala at the Chase Park Plaza.
Reception begins at 6:00 p.m., dinner is served at 7:00, and dancing begins at 8:30.
We hope you'll join us for this night of celebrations!
