We held our 13th annual Sunset Soiree Tuesday May 23, 2017 on a lovely early summer evening. The pictures best convey the spirit of the event. We are so grateful to our many vendors who ringed our auction tables with great food and spirits and to Del Mar Plaza for providing the venue. We also thank our generous donors who gave dozens of auction items and our auctioneer Steve Hamann for again ensuring that the live auction items went for the maximum amount. All proceeds from the event will be used by the Rotary Club of Del Mar to support the club’s many service-oriented projects as well as local and international organizations.
