Please join us for the 3 rd annual Memories in the Making Art Reception & Auction on March 31 st at Ralston Hall.   This very special event is an opportunity for you to support the Alzheimer's Association in its mission:   to create a world without Alzheimer's and enhance the lives of those who live with it.  

Our guests will once again enjoy a variety of entertainment while savoring hosted hors d'oeuvres and wine as you stroll through the elegant rooms of the Ralston Hall Mansion.   And the pièce de résistance... thirty-two extraordinary pieces of juried art, created in the Memories in the Making program, will be featured on the auction block for your bidding pleasure!

Guests at the 2005 event enjoyed an evening filled with excellent wine, food & entertainment. The live auction, led by Dennis O'Donnell and Roberta Gonzales of CBS 5 News, brought the crowd to their feet as competitive bidding for the art reached new heights. Collectively, the event raised over $32,000+ for the Alzheimer's Association.

We look forward to another successful night on March 31 st , and hope to see you there!
