MAYVILLE — Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care will host the fifth annual Under the Sea gala on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Chautauqua Suites Meeting and Expo Center in Mayville.

The evening will begin at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Attendees will find a decorated hall in the theme of Atlantis and have the opportunity to be photographed in a royal underwater throne. There will be themed games and silent auction items to explore before dinner. A dinner and desert will be served. Following dinner a live auction will be held followed by dancing to music provided by DJ Good Rich. A cash bar will be available for refreshments.

“The Gala will be packed with an evening full of swimmingly good fun sure to entice every water lover,” said BJ Buonaiuto, Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care events manager. “You may even win one of the many prizes the Queen of the Ocean has to offer her aquatic court.”
