Here is another way to show your support and commitment to our community.

For those that have never been it is a dress to impress affair, it starts with a silent auction were you can sip your cocktail while wandering through the auction room perusing the various items that up for auction. I find there is always something of interest.

Soon the bell sounds for dinner you will be seated in the dinning room, and while having dinner there will speeches then a small live auction which is always fun and entertaining. Once that is done the real fun begins with dancing and socializing for a few hours.
