Celebrate Allen - Outstanding!

Thanks to the hard work of Regina Taylor, Andrea Stewart, Denise Ladner and a tremendous number of volunteers - the 2003 Celebrate Allen was an elegant and successful event. A special thank you must be expressed to our sponsors and to the volunteers who unselfishly gave of their time. Proceeds from the event will be shared equally by the Allen Chamber, the Allen Philharmonic Symphony and the Foundation for Allen Schools.  Celebrate Allen would not be possible without the support of auction donations, underwriting, corporate and table sponsors. We would like to recognize these organizations once again for their contributions.
