The Chinese Auction and Dinner - THANK YOU!
Thank you for everyone who participated in, volunteered for, sponsored the event, and donated items! It was a really fun evening held on October 23, 2009 at Maggiano's Little Italy Restaurant at St. Johns Town Center, Jacksonville. The Chinese Auction was an hour of high energy fun! In this unique action packed event everyone enjoyed great food, fun and networking.
The evening benefited the North Florida Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. What a great way to support the worthwhile and important work being done locally and nationally by the Foundation.
