Sumptuous Treats and an Exclusive Auction - February 6, 2010 at 7:00 pm

Communities In Schools will hold its annual fundraising gala, The Chocolate Affair, on February 6th at the Citadel's Holliday Alumni Center, 69 Hagood Avenue in Charleston. The event features a silent and live auction with items such as original and rare artwork, precious jewelry, distinctive furniture, and assorted vacation packages.

In addition to this unique selection of auction items, some of your favorite Lowcountry restaurants and bakeries will donate their tastiest chocolate desserts for the occasion. Five-layer cakes to chocolate truffles, these goodies will complement gourmet hors d'oeuvres and chocolate martinis! To top the night off, guests will enjoy music and dancing.
