Due to unforeseen construction issues with the previous event venue, NAM's Jeans & Jewels committee recently announced changes to this year's Jeans and Jewels Gala. "Sometimes things happen that are out of anyone's control and you just need to go with the changes" declared Brian Carr, NAM's Chief Advancement Officer. "I am proud of the work the committee did in reacting to the emergency and coming up with a wonderful event plan" added Carr.

This year's gala, themed "On the Acres", will move to Shirley Acres where the event will utilize both of the event rooms as well as the pavilion area. The event date has also been changed from Saturday, October 9th to Friday, October 8th. These changes facilitate the need to move the concert by LONESTAR to a later date to be determined and VIP Reception speaker Mattress Mack will not be available to attend this year's event.

The committee is excited that there will be two areas of casino fun, live entertainment in the form of dueling pianos and multi talented singers along with plenty of food and drink for all. "While the venue may have changed the committee has worked hard to create a fun filled evening for everyone", stated Les Cave, NAM's President / CEO. "After missing last year due to the pandemic the main goal of this event is to celebrate the service that NAM provides to the community along with a long needed chance to visit friends and have some fun", added Mr. Cave.

Sponsorships and tickets are still available for the 2021 Jeans & Jewels Gala.
