 October 16th at the Jones River Trading
Notice: Tickets must be purchased by September 30th
With the economy and current school budgets, this is an especially trying year. With that in mind, we are doing something different to help our elementary and intermediate schools at our Fall Gala. The Kingston Education Foundation (KEF) and the Kingston Parent Teacher Organization (KPTO) have teamed up this year to host the Fall Gala together with 100% of the proceeds from the Gala going directly back to our KES and KIS teachers and classrooms.
The money raised will be divided between the KEF and KPTO. KEF will purchase all requested items that fall under the Technology and Science areas for our teachers and classrooms. The KPTO will use their half for mini-grants for the teachers. We believe that this event will give our teachers the resources to purchase items that they would love to use in their lesson plans but that they are not possible to purchase on their own or within the schools’ budget. There is no doubt that our efforts together in raising the much needed money will only enhance our Kingston children’s education.
Cocktails and silent auction begin at six o'clock, followed by dinner, live auction and dancing.

 Comedy Show
This year, we are very excited to have "One of Boston's Best". In a city famous for great comedians, that's how The Boston Globe described Mike Dorval. After doing comedy for only three months, Mike won the New Hampshire Comedy Festival, beating out some of the most established comics in New England and soon became one of the youngest headliners in Boston history.
Mike has been featured in Comedy Central's Laugh Riots, numerous television commercials, and stars in the upcoming independent film, "Dick Spicketts". Most recently he toured overseas for the USO, entertaining thousands of US military personnel abroad and released his first live comedy album entitled, "We need to talk…".
Mike's takes on his Catholic upbringing, love life, and the insanity of the world around him have entertained audiences at colleges and clubs across the country and prompted The Boston Herald to exclaim, "Michael Dorval is hilarious!"
Mike will be performing a short routine as well as being the emcee for our live auction. Prepare to laugh and enjoy bidding on some great items!
Live Auction Items
To keep the night rolling along, we will limit the number of live auction items to approximately 10 items. Some of the items are:
