Theme and Entertainment

This event will have a 1940s Frank Sinatra/Rat Pack holiday theme to it. So, dress your best as we make this one a little bit more formal.

Our entertainment during dinner will be Detroit's own Gary Sacco performing holiday songs in the style of Frank Sinatra. As a very special added bonus, Gary's daughter who is autistic will be joining him for a couple of songs. Her super power is singing and for her age, she is truly amazing! It's going to be a real blessing for us to hear them both perform for us.

Food and Drinks

LMCU's Chef Matt will once again be creating a feast for us with a 1940s holiday inspired menu that will delight our taste buds and have us craving more! Plus we will have beer, wine and cider plus a special holiday drink as well.
