Planning For The Annual Stargazers Ball

On Wednesday, September 12, 2012 the Raue Center For The Arts Staff, Board of Directors and Stargazers committee welcomed the Stargazers Honorary Committee to a special meeting.

26 North (Raue Center’s brand new upstairs bar) was buzzing with excitement as the group joined in raising a glass to toast what they hope will be another successful event. Amongst the attendees were Mayor of Crystal Lake Aaron Shepley, Home State Bank President Steve Slack, Sandra Pierce, Sheri Turk and Stargazers Ball Chairwoman Pat Petrouski. Also in attendance were Raue Center Board Members Bob Cormier, Jr. and Jack Minsley.


Stargazers Ball is Raue Center’s largest annual fundraiser. The gala is set under the stars of the theatre’s auditorium and features unique appetizers from local restaurants, signature cocktails, upbeat orchestral music, a live auction and more.
  Join with the group on November 3, 2012 at Raue Center to ensure the arts are alive and thriving in the community for generations to come. The funds raised at Stargazers Ball help reduce Raue Center’s current long-term needs – like their $1.8 million dollar mortgage – that directly impact operational needs for programs like Mission Imagination and Williams Street Repertory.

The Stargazers Honorary Committee members are Senator Pamela Althoff, Dee Beaubien, Steve and Sandra Pierce, Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley and his wife Regan, Steve and Leann Slack and Representative Michael Tryon and his wife Kathy.
