Embatini Fundraiser to Benefit Downtown Fort Wayne's Embassy Theatre

Everyone who attend the Embatini Fundraiser had a great time on stage at downtown Fort Wayne's Embassy Theatre.  Upon their arrival, guests mingled, had their favorite beverage, and received a close-up view, while listening to music from the world famous Grande Page Pipe Organ. After a formal welcome from Executive Director, Kelly Updike, guests had dinner which was catered by Catablu, and then were entertained by Michael Nelaborige and Abby Ehinger.

If you love the The Historic Embassy Theatre and are looking for a unique way to help support it, then this is the event for you.  Be sure to look for information about the 2012 Embatini early in 2012 to insure your spot on stage.  Click here to see more photos of this event.
