The JCRC Behind the Scenes Gala and Auction, held on October 28, 2008, was a success! Thanks to our generous supporters and sponsors, attendees, and of course the unsung heroes we were able to acknowledge, the event was meaningful, enjoyable and memorable.
Our online auction, offering behind-the-scenes tours, unique experiences with public officials and fabulous getaways, was also a fun and successful way to support the JCRC for our community.
