SILENT AUCTION
At the event, we will be holding a silent auction to benefit Hands Together — A Center for Children and Families, an early childhood education program in central Orange County for the working poor. Nationally-recognized, Hands Together provides literacy programs and healthcare screening for pre-K children, as well as parental counseling. Its graduates flourish in the public school system despite living in a zip code where historically 60% drop out by the 9th grade.

* * * Please bring cash or your checkbook in case you win something in the silent auction. (We are not able to process credit cards at the event.)
