DERBY - The 2017 Griffin Hospital Gala will be a night to remember with lavish food, unique auction items, and upbeat music and dancing Oct. 13 from 7-11:30 p.m. at Aria, 45 Murphy Road, Prospect.
The hospital is at 130 Division St.
Guests will be treated to exquisite dining and first-rate entertainment to match Aria’s delightfully manicured and sculpted gardens, and breathtaking scenic views of autumn in Connecticut.
A customized dinner will be served accompanied by live music.
The evening closes out with dancing to the energetic, Latin-inspired sounds and funky beats of the 10-piece band, Sugar.
There also will be a silent auction for guests to bid on exciting prizes, including vacations and one-of-a-kind memorabilia.
Tickets start at $185 per person. Black tie is suggested.
Proceeds will fund the expansion of Griffin’s radiation therapy capabilities, including the introduction of radio-surgery and other leading-edge technological advances.

This is a press release from Griffin Hospital.
In addition to the Cast of Beatlemania, the concert venue will feature The Bernadettes, The Electric Lady Band, and Bob's Fault.
The fun will culminate with a fireworks display!
These talented artists collaborating on the exhibit are members of the Valley Arts Council.
Listening to live music is therapeutic, and outdoor concerts in the summer are a great way to relax.
My husband, Ralph, and I enjoyed a wonderful performance featuring crowd favorite Mark Lanzieri of Ansonia and his band Wednesday evening at Veterans Park in Ansonia.
Lanzieri sings standards made famous by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Tony Bennett, in addition to other pop songs.
The band, from left, consists of Joe Mayo of Fairfield on saxophone, clarinet, flute, and guitar, Lanzieri, Joe Sullivan of Derby on drums, (hidden from view) and David Scrimenti of Ansonia on keyboard.
Bob's Fault, a classic rock band from Beacon Falls, will take the stage at 7 p.m. next Wednesday at Veterans Park.
