Looking very ooh-la-la, Elaine Minichiello (left) and Angela Jackson played the part well.

Bidding on the symphony and theatre tickets were John Langill and Kelly Marshall.

Al Argent (left), Lea Milley and hubby Bruce were happy to lend their support to such a great event.

Inspired by Moulin Rouge, and looking very chic, were Pat and Bonar Lund.

Suzan Badgley (left), daughter of gallery gal Carole Badgley, came all the way from Korea to attend the event and visit with her folks.

Director and local realtor Dave Lund did his part by selling raffle tickets and raising funds.
