Trinity Services' 33rd Annual Dance and Auction Set For Sept. 24

NEW LENOX, IL — Trinity Services’ 33rd annual Better Together Dinner Dance and Auction is scheduled to take place from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sept. 24 at The Odyssey, 19110 S. Ridgeland Ave. in Tinley Park.

The event will feature entertainment, live music provided by The Connexion Band, fine dining, dancing, and silent and live auctions for the benefit of people with developmental disabilities and mental illness who receive support from Trinity, according to a news release from Trinity Services.

“We feel privileged to be celebrating our 72nd year of providing supports and services for people with developmental disabilities and mental illness,” said Trinity Services President and CEO Thane Dykstra. “Since first opening our doors as a small school in 1950, Trinity Services has been committed to helping people with developmental disabilities and mental illness flourish and live full and abundant lives.”

This year’s event has special significance, as Trinity will be honoring Raymond D. McShane, chairperson of Trinity's Board of Directors, for his 50 years of dedicated leadership to Trinity Services.

“Mr. McShane has been a tireless advocate for Trinity Services through its steady growth and development as one of the largest social services organizations in the State of Illinois,” Dykstra said. “Ray McShane joined the Board of Directors of Trinity Services when it was still just a small school. Since then, Ray’s effective governance and unwavering determination have been instrumental in helping establish critical services including Trinity’s residential program, behavioral health program, and many other innovative services over the decades.”
