After the greetings by emcee Vineeta Sawkar and 2008 CHA President Diane Swanson and a short video about the 75-year history of the Children's Hospital, the band continued with dinner music. Dinner music ( around 8:45 to 9:20) (To help keep the volume down, the trumpet section used flugelhorns except when some kind of mute was called for. Many people were on the dance floor during the first half of the set, due to the time it took to get dinner served.):
At this point, Shirley Schoffelman and Andrea Strommen, the 2008 Ball Co-Chairs, held a drawing for Continental Diamond Jewelry, and auctioneer Karen Lee Sorbo conducted the live auction. This was followed by Fund-a-Need, a million-dollar presentation, and remarks by Dr. Alan Goldbloom, President and CEO of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
