This year’s auction theme paid homage to the alluring era of “Old Hollywood” and provided a spectacular night at the supper club. Attendees enjoyed an evening of delightful fun, glamour and glitz while supporting the schools’ many programs through funds generated from the silent and live auctions. The event was held under a 19,000 square foot tent on the schools’ soccer field, and the 560 attendees dined on cuisine by Betty Zlatchin Catering of San Francisco, and danced the night away to the big band music of Dick Bright Orchestra.
