It was another amazing Elegant Evening of fun, food, and community! Guests will enjoyed selective tastings from Crystal Basin Cellars, Tahoe Blue Vodka, The Hangar, Lake Tahoe AleWorX, Lewis Grace Winery, and Double Bond Wine. Our evening included a beautiful plated dinner served by Harrah’s finest and we raised funds through our fabulous silent auction, our signature “Elegant Business Baskets” and “Elegant Bags” plus everyone will enjoy music and dancing to Trey Stone and The Soul Experience, our friend who has been inducted in the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Our evening was guided by Mr. Mike Peron, our friend and Master of Ceremony!
