Thank you to everyone who attended the NOLA Fundraiser Dinner + Silent Auction on Thursday, April 18th!

Not only was it wildly successful (raising nearly $4000!), it was also a beautiful evening with community, good vibes and great music. The Obsidian Banders prepared and served a fabulous New Orleans-inspired cuisine with delectable gumbo, cornbread, and more.
