We thank everyone who attended The Havana Night Benefit Gala on Thursday, March 21 at the Copacabana Night Club. We had a very successful auction with your generous donations! Priceless treasures of fine Cuban Art were displayed and sold. Our Gala could not be complete, without the DJ mixing some tunes for dancing. We hope you had a wonderful time and see you next year!
