Sept. 26, 2011 - The Leadership Savannah 50th Anniversary Gala will take place on Thurs., Nov. 17 at the Savannah Yacht Club, located at 730 Bradley Point Road in Savannah, with a reception at 6:30 p.m. and a presentation at 7:30 p.m.

It's hard to believe, but Leadership Savannah began back in 1961 for the purpose of informing future leaders in the Savannah area of issues confronting the community on a variety of subjects. Subjects such as government, economic development, education, taxes, urban problems and coastal environment are examined in an atmosphere of concerned communication among the young leaders. This unique program provides the opportunity for its participants to develop an awareness of community successes and problems as well as the knowledge to help meet the challenge of the future.

Leadership Savannah seeks to inspire individual leadership growth by providing the learning experiences that lead to a better understanding of our community and preparation for meeting the challenges of the present and future. Leadership Savannah will support the continued development, expansion and operation of Leadership programs and provide a forum for exchange of community information, resources and viewpoints.

Music will be provided by the Tyrone Smith Revue band, with dancing to begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $75 per person and available by making reservations online at www.LeadershipSavannah.org.
