Here is one pic of Amanda, ready for the Gala. This is the dress Grammy got her for formal occasions (90% acetate, 10% spandex).

The Gala brought in over $13,000 in the auctions, and $25,000 in tickets/donations. The final numbers will be available next week. All of the money goes toward the Aid and Comfort Program to help people with AIDS pay for their meds and/or copays. For one new AIDS drug, the copay is $250 (the max allowed for a copay)!!!! The actual cost of the drug is upwards of $1500 per month!

She ran the credit card machine, and we were VERY busy (which is a very good thing, but I was exhausted–over $7000 in credit cards
between 9:00 and 10:00. I got out of there at 11:00).

There are two other pics under Gala 2005 on the right hand column. Finally–all dressed up WITH someplace to go!!
