Your support of the Gift Gathering Party will mean you will be donating an actual Gala Auction item and bottle of wine or champagne to help the Auction Committee prepare for the upcoming Auction. Your support will also mean that you will have the opportunity to meet new people, catch up with old friends, fellowship and have fun!
Our gracious hosts, Gillian and Rick Dodd, will be holding this time honored event at their home on February 10th @ 7pm. Please come join us for drinks and delights!
