Wow, what show! On Saturday evening April 23 at he Albuquerque Convention Center the 18th annual New Mexico Rotary Charity Ball for New Mexico Children featured the Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra and Hilary Smith Vocalist. It was a magical evening enjoyed by almost 500 people. The live auction was very dramatic with our own Brad Ekhoff doing the auctioneering. Items went for very good prices. Chair Tony Pino does not have the financial totals yet for the evening but says they will be very good. Thanks to all the Rotarians who participated and to all the generous sponsors who put their money in support of New Mexico Children.
This years Ball was a Joint effort between Del Sol and Rotary Club of Albuquerque.
