I attended the Sunset Sip, a charity banquet hosted by The Guidance Center in Long Beach. You can click on the link to learn about everything they do for the community.
It’s set in a lovely venue at the Maya Hotel.
It seems all charity banquets have a silent auction and this one was big.
Hilda took a nice selfie – Hilda, Merlyn, Jim, Karen, me.
The band for the early reception was very good.
This is the auctioneer for the after dinner entertainment selling off the most desirable items and generating action for donations.
Before the auction they played a game called Heads Or Tails. You pay $25 for a necklace, and you can wear a maximum of two. Then you stand up and put your hands on your head or your tail. If you get it right you keep on playing. If you get it wrong you remove one necklace until you lose bare necked, and then you’re out.
I lasted the longest at my table and was two away from winning. People did get a kick out of it. Since I was a first-timer people at the table gave me theirs so it would have been a nice group win, but no. Hilda took this picture.
