6th Annual Black, White, and Read All Over and 40th Anniversary Celebration! A special thank you to everyone who came out to support us at this year's event. Everyone had a wonderful time bidding on items in the silent auction, listening to our wonderful student and tutor speakers and grooving along to the jazz trio. The view from the Cardinal Club's ballroom was spectacular and the night flew by! Pictures of the event are available here.
