Thursday: Civic Dinner Dance at 128th Air Refueling Wing

The 128th Air Refueling Wing will host the cities of Cudahy, Oak Creek, St. Francis, and South Milwaukee during the Civic Dinner Dance on May 19 at its facility at 1835 E. Grange Ave., Cudahy.

This year's honoree is Rev. Carl Krueger, who served the community during his nearly 36 years of Parish Ministry and more than 30 years as Pastor of St. John, Cudahy. This event is held on the Air Refueling Wing Base, where their largest hanger is turned into an elegant venue.

Please consider joining us to celebrate Armed Forces Week and the efforts of a leader in our community. This event hosts over 400 people from around the area including military personel from all branches of the service, local dignitaries, business leaders, and citizens.  It is a great way to show your support and network with people from southeastern Wisconsin. This event allows you to see the 128th Air Refueling Wing Planes on the Air Strip, Military Displays inside the hanger, as well as hear our very own 132nd Army Band. It is a wonderful and moving event.

Cocktail hour begins at 5:30 p.m., with dinner and program at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person or $300 for a table of 10.

If you are interested in purchasing tickets please contact Kim Jankowski at 414-573-2947 or the Oak Creek Community Center at 414-768-5840.
