Villagers cleaned up real good for the "Clooney At the Movies" Auction Gala, Friday night, June 25, held at Antioch University Midwest. The event included a silent auction, wine and buffet, video Tribute to the Little Art by Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar, live auction with auctioneer Doug Sorrell, and guest speaker, journalist and author Nick Clooney addressing "The Movies That Changed Us."Little Art Theatre Board of Trustees Chair Maureen Lynch and Clooney At the Movies Committee Chair Kipra Heerman, armed with an army of volunteers, sponsors, auction item donors, and catering staff, presented a fun and festive night to remember for Little Art Theatre Executive Director Jenny Cowperthwaite and all who attended. I'm still dreaming of the Mashed Potato Bar and the multitude of topping variations I didn't get a chance to try.
Nick was a charming presenter with a wonderful sense of humor and I appreciated the thought-provoking clips --- especially the one from "The Best Years of Our Lives," which I've heard about so many times but have never seen.
Thanks to all who made the night such a success. We appreciate all your thoughtfulness, energy, and hard work all these months to pull this very complicated event off!
