An Evening to Remember
Keynote Speaker: Tom Overlie
Tom Overlie is an Emmy Award-winning television anchor who has called Rochester home for twenty-five years.
Tom has anchored the evening news for more than thirty years. He’s anchored and reported for KEYC-TV in Mankato, KMOT-TV in Minot, North Dakota, and had been a primary KTTC 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. co-anchor since May 2000. Tom stepped aside from broadcast journalism in 2024, in part, to help take care of his mother, who is living with dementia.
Tom is honored to be part of Elder Network’s Fall Fling Gala.
We look forward to this event each year to highlight the work of our wonderful volunteers, staff, and community network.
With your support, we ensure older adults and their caregivers thrive and lead rewarding lives. We thank you for your support of our 37 years of service. We seek your continued support to expand new programs, maintain existing programs, and ensure we continue serving the community for another 37 years to come, and beyond!

We are still considering sponsorships for 2025, and will finalize our decisions by August 15th, 2025.
Speak with Becca at 507-285-5272 to learn more. We can work with you to craft a sponsorship that works best for your business/organization.
The 12th Annual Fall Fling Gala is our main fundraiser for the year and is an important source of funding to allow us to maintain free and low-cost services.
Starting January 2025, federal funding cuts were initiated, amid the rising costs, funding instability and uncertainty, and American Rescue Plan funds have been discontinued. We expect further cuts in 2025 and beyond, and appreciate your unwavering support amid funding instability.
Because of these challenges, our fundraiser is more important than ever! Please consider the impact of Elder Network, and how you can help us to achieve our goal.
