How could anyone not have had a blast at the annual Mad Hatter's Ball? Check out a few of these familiar faces, having fun for a great cause this weekend in record breaking fundraising festivities for Petaluma's award-winning Mentor Me Program.
Not sure what the total gold count was from gala totals for the evening, but Mentor Me's Exec Director, Val Richman was certainly one happy event producer as she beamed and bopped with the best of them on the dance floor after an extremely upbeat live-auction during family-style dinner for a packed house at the Boys and Girls Club.
The tougher the economy here in this little part of the world, the more the community continually steps up the pace to fill in for essential program funding gaps. It's nothing short of wonderful. As was the headwear. As you can see!
I arrived at 5:30 to video tape the decorations and auction room before the throng arrived. The work and creativity that goes into this event is nothing short of remarkable. - Congrats to Val and the gang,
