Tonight is the big "Reach for the Stars" auction to raise money for Brook Knoll elementary school. Charlotte has been helping a lot with the event, though Valri's sounds like she's been putting in a huge effort on this one. Everything looks ready for the big crowd and there are plenty of truly awesome items people have donated or created. Charlotte and the SVEF crew also take the opportunity to plug our upcoming fundraising bicycle event.

The auction is an unbelievable success and everyone had a wonderful time. Our table was filled with great friends like Matt, Paula, Craig, Stephanie, and more. The Italian theme included a nice dinner, some opera, and plenty of crazy bidding.
