The legacy of Croatian artist Maxo Vanka is painted across the walls of Millvale’s St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church. The murals depict faith, social justice and the lives of immigrants in 25 panels that Vanka called his “gift to America.” Buy a ticket to one night of revelry at Cocktails & Conservation to help support the preservation of these murals and enjoy live entertainment, a cocktail reception, an art auction and a program by local historian and author, Brian Butko. Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails will be on hand with historical drinks. -Celine Roberts
