Boys & Girls Club auction raises funds for kids
MOSES LAKE — The glitterati were out in full force at dinner and auction Saturday night. About 300 people turned out to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Columbia Basin at the organization’s annual dinner and auction. The theme for the evening was “A Night at the Oscars,” and the organizers went all out. There was a red carpet at the entrance to the Big Bend Community College ATEC building, and paparazzi snapping photos of attendees as they entered. The dinner and auction were sold out. “I am always honored that so many of my friends in the community share my passion for caring about our club kids,” said Boys & Girls Club Director Kim Pope.
