An evening of elegance, and decadence in the name of raising funds and awareness. Hors d'oeuvres, Combination Open Bar and Cash Bar, and entertainment, follow, leading up to the main event...the chocolate! The areas finest chocolatiers showcase their creations and seduce your palate. A silent auction tugs at others' competitive natures. Bidding on donated treasures: fine art, dining at upscale area restaurants, theatre and sporting event tickets, the latest in electronics, themed baskets and more, usually results in a steal for the highest bidder. Thus, good-natured bidding wars are common.
This is an exciting event where you can learn about new travel destinations, rediscover old ones, find GLBT friendly travel providers and get information to plan your next vacation.
