Foundation will host evening of romance 

The Simi Valley Police Foundation will hold its 11th annual banquet Feb. 13, an evening of romance and roses at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Education Center.

The banquet will start with a reception at 6 p.m. Dinner will be served at 7:15 p.m., to be followed by a special awards presentation, live auction and entertainment with The Tony Maddox Band.

The center will be transformed into a romantic oasis, and we are serving an exquisite meal, said Sharon Romano, president of the foundation

Guests will have the opportunity to bid on such items as a trip to Ireland and a kids' birthday party in a jail cell at the Simi Valley police station.

Banquet tickets are $110 per person or $2,000 for a VIP table of 10. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.svpf.org.
