One Bright Night by the Lake PDF Print E-mail

One Bright Night by the LakeOn July 26, 2008, Over The Rainbow supporters enjoyed an intimate evening, dancing to the strains of jazz, swing, and rock as the moon glided across the lake at the historic Winnetka home of Sherry and Randy Abrahams.

In addition to music from the Derrick Stout Orchestra, supporters had a buffet dinner from Heller Catering and participated in both a live and silent auction. Items included a variety of sports tickets, sign sports memorabilia, along with vacations in the Cayman Islands and St. Thomas.

The party continued through the wee hours of the night.
