GUELPH, ONTARIO. Mark your calendar with a new date for the "Black & White Classic" Dream Auction, organized in support of the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP).

The gala event will now take place on Sat., Feb. 23, 2002 in the Atrium of the OMAFRA building at 1 Stone Road West, Guelph. Plan to join the grads and friends of AALP from across the agri-food sector for this popular evening - the fourth in AALP’s history.

"Plans are in the works for another successful Black & White Classic.

Each auction has exceeded the last in an effort to bolster funds for AALP participants who will be studying the industry’s complex issues and providing future leadership in the agri-food sector," says AALP graduate Karen Lewis, who will act as co-chair of the event along with her fellow classmate, Phil Anwender. A selection of interesting and exciting items is being collected for this live and silent auction.

Tickets will include admission, refreshments and the opportunity to network with some of agriculture‚s finest leaders. Plan to donate an item, bring a group and make it a party!
