Last night my wife and I attended a fundraiser at epOxyBOx for the Whale Rescue Team, which by all appearances was a smashing success. If the turnout was any indication (and there was an entry fee to start things off), then that's a lot of fundraising right there. But the event also included raffles and a silent auction. Additionally, for the guests, there was a hosted bar, lots of vegan food, and musical entertainment. I didin't remember to snap pictures (I'm working on getting better about this!) until after the cupcakes were all gone, but they were gooood.

Fortunately, I did have my new smartphone with me, which takes 2MP photos. Not quite as good as my dedicated camera, but hopefully you'll get a feel for this wonderful event:

Whale Rescue Team's Peter Wallerstein

Silent auction included a paddleboat (under a looped video showing Peter's work)

In addition to auction items, numerous prints were offered for sale

Both the larger and smaller prints seemed to sell well

Then there was this little number (the electric scooter):

Musical entertainment

Onlookers

There was a sizeable crowd, but it was too dark for my camera:
