Art à la Carte Gala Dinner and Auction...

On Saturday February 24th, 2007, the Orono Alliance celebrated our 6th anniversary with a creative black tie gala at the Lafayette Club. Our theme was "Art à la Carte."

Thanks to the generosity of families and artists who donated items to our silent auction, we raised over $100,000 at this year's event!
