Charity Fundraising Event: December 5th, 2007

We welcome you to a charity auction and fine-dining event filled with wine, music, and entertainment.

The night's festivities will be hosted by two fabulous (and very famous) guests -- Our very own, Chade Meng Tan, the Google Guy of NY Times' fame, and Matthieu Ricard, the inspiring Buddhist monk, photographer, brain-researcher, interpreter for the Dalai Lama, and "the happiest man alive." With instruments singing, wine abounding and hilarious hosts, this promises to be an evening to remember, so book your tickets as soon as possible!

Attire is Festive Dress.
