Love Without Boundaries

A Valentine's Day Auction, Dinner & Dance

Start the night by flirting with the competition for must-have silent auction items during the hosted champagne and hors d'oeuvres reception.

Then move into the Madison Ballroom for dinner.  Hold hands across a romantic table for two or feel the love at a group table for 4, 6, 8, or 10!

What's for dinner? It's your choice when you register!

     1. Spice-rubbed Filet Mignon, served with a Sweet Potato Medley with Bleu Cheese & Garlic Herb Butter

     2. Pan-seared Trout with Lemon Caper Sauce, served with Roasted Butternut, Fennel & Zucchini Hash

     3. Portobello, Roasted Peppers & Grilled Squash Fennel Cous Cous and Roasted Green Onions

We are thrilled to extend a hearfelt welcome to this year's emcee, Debra Jarvis.  

Debra Jarvis "the irreverent reverend with something to say" is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. She is the author of several books, most recently It's Not About the Hair: And Other Certainties of Life & Cancer (Sasquatch Books, 2007) which was finalist for the 2009 Washington State Book Awards. She has also written two books about AIDS, HIV Positive, Living With AIDS (Lion, 1990) and The Journey Through AIDS: A Guide for Loved Ones and Caregivers (Lion, 1992). 

She has worked as a hospice spiritual counselor and served as a staff chaplain for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. She is a commentator for National Public Radio and frequently speaks at conferences and gives workshops on medical staff care, spirituality and finding meaning in life's challenges. She also accompanies her Cairn terrier Max in his therapy dog work. Jarvis is currently writer-in-residence at University Congregational United Church of Christ in Seattle.

Continue the night by dancing cheek-to-cheek to the musical styling of Dina Blade. 

Dina returns to the Love Without Boundaries stage. She is a refreshingly natural singer with a great sense of time and swing who specializes in singing American popular songs from the 1930's and 40's.

Then keep the love flowing with a room for the night.
