The 5th annual Vintage Affair fundraiser for the Community Action
Center in Sandy Springs was a huge success!

The dinner and auction event raised more than $80,000, which is a 23
percent increase over the amount raised in 2006. More than 140 guests
enjoyed a gourmet seated dinner catered by the areas finest
restaurants with specially selected wines and beers.

Guests bid on silent auction items and following dinner enjoyed a live auction hosted by the talented and funny Rob Cleveland. The event took place on Saturday, September 29, 2007 at Glenridge Hall in Sandy Springs, a historic English Tudor-style mansion and private home of the Mayson family.

The event was made possible by the generous support of Coldwell Banker
CARES Foundation and Joey Mayson as well as dozens of corporate sponsors, area restaurants, wine sponsors and residents.
