Dr. Gerling invites patients to the annual International Museum of Art & Science fundraiser

It is with great pleasure that Dr. Gerling announces our most important annual fundraiser for the International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS).

Collage will be held on Saturday, October 9th at IMAS. We will be honoring one of McAllen's most well known and important women, Janet Wallace. She has become an icon in McAllen, TX and attends just about every major social event held in our city. Janet is the mother of 10 and is still very active.

So please, mark your calendars for this grand event and come celebrate education, culture and entertainment. Tickets are $125 each for museum members and $150 each for non-members. We have a limited supply of tickets at our office. Please give us a call if you would like to discuss ticket availability, or if you have any questions about the event.

Thanks,

Dr. John Gerling
