You are cordially invited to join Native American Community Services of Erie and Niagara Counties, Inc. (NACS) at our 6th Annual Gala as we celebrate 40 years in a 'Tradition of Caring'.
To honor our Native American culture, each year our Annual Gala theme follows the verses of the traditional Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address, so this year the theme is "Giving Thanks - Honoring The Waters."
Our night begins with a special ceremony acknowledging the waters at 5:30pm on the shores of the Niagara River, followed by a reception with basket raffles and silent auction items available to bid on. Our Program begins at 6:30 pm with a welcome and traditional Thanksgiving Address. Dinner will be served by 6:45 pm.
The event will also include the presentation of our "Bundled Arrows Awards" which will recognize individuals or organizations who help to strengthen our community.
NACS has been a key service provider to the greater Buffalo-Niagara community since 1975. This annual fundraiser helps to fund gaps in our current programs, while laying the foundation for meeting the long-term needs of our community.
We are pleased to announce this year's "Bundled Arrows" honorees - Geronimo Henry, Alvin Parker and Linda Yellow.
*NEW* NACS is also happy to announce our celebrity MC for this year's Gala - National Native American Comedian, MITCH FACTOR!!
"Mitch Factor is one of the top Indian comedians in the United States. Mitch has performed for thousands over the last ten years from Anchorage Alaska to Germany and most of Indian country. The fast pace and high energy comedy of Mitch Factor is a breath of fresh air and simply something new. His topics include children, relationships, teachers, getting older and Indian way of life. His comedy also includes original characters such as "Joseph From Up Nort" who sings an original blues song titled "Fry Bread Momma, Why Did You Sit On my Dog and Kill Him?" and "Garage Sale Babe". Mitch has performed for National Indian conferences, casinos, Indian music festivals, POW WOWs, Indian Head Start programs, Indian banquets and private corporate events across the United States.
Mitch Factor is a Seminole and Menominee Indian who was born the youngest of ten and raised in Oklahoma. Mitch has also been involved in Indian Head Start since the early nineties and has served as a teacher as well as an education manager of Head Start. Mitch performs comedy simply because he loves to see people laugh together."
