I took a stroll around the auction. I'm awed by some of the artwork. A painting called "Dell's" caught my eye, but I didn't catch who created it. 

I think Persad is awsome and amazing. I donate to them through the United Way each year.  I refer many, many people there for all sorts of services.

Things are quiet here right now.  People are mingling, enjoying the entertainment and bidding away on the art. 

This event supports the organizations "Free Care Fund" which serves people in our community who couldn't otherwise access these services.  Since you know LGBTQ folks are disproportionately represented among the uninsured ...good thing this event has raised more than $3 million over the past twenty years.

That's a lot of $200 bids.
