KOMO 4 anchor Molly Shen emceed<br />
<strong>and</strong> led guests through an inspiring<br />
program of ACRS highlights <strong>and</strong> into<br />
a dynamic live auction with Auctioneer<br />
Ryan Massey. Guests participated with<br />
gusto in a Fund-a-Need paddle raiser,<br />
which totaled almost $20,000 for<br />
ACRS programs <strong>and</strong> clients – the<br />
highest amount raised in straight<br />
donations from an ACRS dinner! Girls<br />
from the dance troupe Rhythms of<br />
India brought the evening to a close<br />
on a colorful <strong>and</strong> energetic note.<br />
This successful evening was made<br />
possible by the generosity <strong>and</strong> hard<br />
work of the Dinner Auction Planning<br />
Committee, event sponsors, auction<br />
item donors <strong>and</strong> all the volunteers<br />
who helped the evening run smoothly.<br />
Planning for 2007 is getting under<br />
way to ensure another successful fall<br />
benefit event. To join the fun, contact<br />
