The Janes Wine and Cheese party and silent auction this past Sunday was a huge success, thanks in part to our dear friends and supporters of our team as well as our generous sponsors and those that contributed to our auction. The party was held at an outdoor patio at Helms Bakery in Culver City. There was a silent auction as well as other items that were raffled off throughout the night.

It was a fun time for all and the Janes made some money to help them get to nationals.

Thanks again for all the support! We love you guys!
