50th Anniversary Gala

On Saturday, November 17, 2007, UCA hosted a 50th Anniversary Gala at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois.

This unforgettable Gala began with drinks and hors d'oeuvres while touring the only German submarine in the United States, the U-505. Attendees had the chance to take a look inside this pivotal piece of history that has now become a national memorial to the 55,000 American Sailors who gave their lives on the high seas during WWI and WWII.

Once the reception concluded, members made their way to the main rotunda where dinner and dancing took place surrounded by the museum's Christmas Around the World Exhibit. The exhibit featured over 50 trees uniquely displaying hand-made crafts and ornaments passed from one cultural generation to the next. The exhibit began over six decades ago as a United Nations salute to American Allies during World War II. Most of the museum's main floor exhibits was open to UCA guests as they enjoyed the live entertainment provided by an eight piece band.

Thanks to all who joined us as we celebrated this milestone and unforgettable evening!
