Reservations are now being accepted for the 39th Annual New Year's Eve Gala, Saturday, December 31, 2011, in the world-famous Casino Ballroom.

The band will include songs from the 50's till now, bringing you the sounds of MoTown and Chicago, including songs that will make you believe you are listening to the band "Chicago" itself, with a few from the 20's and 30's to honor the great traditions of the Casino Ballroom. The Gala includes a buffet dinner, dancing, champagne split, one bottle of wine in a specially engraved bottle (#13 in a series), and party favors. A photographer will be onsite. A trio from the band will play during the dinner hour, and the full band will perform from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am. Coat & Tie are required; Black Tie is optional.

When requesting reservations, please indicate your 1st and 2nd choices for both dinner time and seating location (see seating chart below). Your requests will be honored as long as seating for your requested time and/or location is available. Just as with restaurants, theater and sporting events, reservations must include everyone who is to be seated with you. Reservations will be accepted under one name, for the total number of guests in the party. Should there be a change in the size of your party, please contact the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce to see if the change can be accommodated. The closer to New Year's Eve, the more difficult (or impossible) it will be to accommodate change.
