Soave Real Estate Group's Dan Roma Lends Hands-on Support
47th Annual Guild Dinner to Benefit The Work of St. John Hospital and Medical Center
May 4, 2007, Detroit With more than 1,000 patrons expected to attend, Soave Real Estate Group Vice President Dan Roma feels confident in his entertainment selection for the 47th Annual Guild Dinner for St. John Hospital. As chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Roma worked with a local talent agency to select comedian and actor Kevin Pollack for the event.
“Mr. Pollack has a great show and will have broad appeal to our diverse audience,” Roma said. Pollack is best known for his movie roles in “A Few Good Men,” “Whole Nine Yards” and “Grumpy Old Men.”
Scheduled for June 6, 2007, the dinner will raise funds to benefit Detroit’s St. John Hospital and Medical Center. Each year, the all-volunteer St. John Guild hosts the event as part of their effort to support the hospital. The evening, held at Penna’s in Sterling Heights, Michigan, will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
Roma joined the Guild Board four years ago, after a personal trauma drew his attention to the hospital’s consummate level of service. “Both my children were born at St. John – even I was born at St. John,” remembered Roma. “However, my active involvement with the Guild didn’t begin until my son was hospitalized in 2003. At three years old, he caught influenza and had to be placed in isolation for an extended period. The amazing care he received spurred my need to become part of the organization.”
“The Guild is a significant provider of funds for St. John,” Roma continued. “The hospital petitions us whenever they have a need. The Guild then works to fulfill their request. Recently, for example, the Guild purchased a machine to supplement the hospital’s groundbreaking work in cardiac research and a software system for patient tracking through the Emergency Department.”
