We're looking into venues fo the Silent Auction and the Santa Monica Womens' Club has their space available for $400 for four hours. Dates may include May 1 or May 8. Possibly charge $12 per person or pay for food separately. Discussion continues as to whether this includes a silent auction, dinner dance party and bingo night; all under consideration.
