The UCAL Annual Auction!



We'd like to thank all of our patrons who joined us for our Annual Auction. It was a great evening. The food was stupendous as always. The Sapphire martinis were great. Our live musicians, Larry Connelly and Thomas Flanagan, were a big hit. And hopefully our patrons are now enjoying their won items. We'll try to post pictures from the Auction later this month.
