Thank you to everyone!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the Center on Wednesday night to support us at this year's annual Benefit and Auction. Music was played, cocktails and cookies were consumed, the rousing live auction hosted by Richard Minsky was a big hit, and a great time was had by all. A special thank you to Honorees George Braziller, Kumi Korf and David Rose for joining us for the evening, and for all of their work advancing the field. Over $40K was raised to support our programs and facilities. Some highlights:

Artist Beatrice Coron was the belle of the ball with her cut paper necklace.

Paper Dragon Books stopped working for a brief moment to say hello.  
 
Volunteer Faith Hale got bamboozled into playing Vanna during the live auction, and did a stellar job.
Artist Peter Schell made these beautiful architecturally inspired small sculptures for us to use as centerpieces, which were auctioned off at the end of the night.

Like pretty much everything we do here, a cast of many donated their time, energy, blood, sweat, artwork, cookies, skills, good cheer and more to help this event come together. Thanks again to everyone who bought tickets, purchased artwork, or volunteered to help this year, we'll see you again next spring!
