The Rowan House Women's Emergency Shelter's Hope and Healing Gala is all set to go again this spring.

During last week's One Billion Rising March, Board Chair Chris Tulloch said it's an important event for them but there's still a lot of fun to be had.

"We have great food from Lynnwood Ranch, we have dancing and music from Tanya Ryan and lots and lots of live and silent auction and honestly I've been four years in a row and it is so much fun," Tulloch says.

He says the April 29 event is the shelter's biggest fundraiser of the year and supports their in-house and outreach programs.

Tickets can be purchased by going to the Rowan House web site.
