Our neighborhood has seen its fair share of changes since the Mary and John landed here in 1630. We have been through revolution, invasion, civil war, booms, depression, great wars, redlining, blockbusting, busing and present day gentrification. Through it all, it often begs the question why …

That’s right folks….10 grand! The Dorchester Day Parade Committee is getting ready to hold it’s 10K Cocktail$ & Ca$h Golden Gala on Friday April 19th at Florian Hall from 6:30PM till midnight.
$100 will buy you a 1 in 300 chance to win $10,000 and admission for 2 to the Golden Gala. The Massachusetts State Lottery doesn’t produce odds like that my friends. I am personally taking some of this action!
If you would like to just attend the Golden Gala, tickets for admission are $25.
Proceeds go to support the 109th Dorchester Day Parade.
There will be additional raffles, Hors d’eouvres (or food for you Dot Rats), Dancing and Entertainment with a cash bar.
This is a great excuse to have a Dot Day party twice in one year!
Help support this great Dorchester tradition!
