    Memories in the Making Art Auction

    The 6th Annual Memories in the Making Art Auction was held on Friday, April 3rd, 2009 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. The evening featured a live and silent auction, musical entertainment, guest speakers, fabulous food and amazing wines.  Guests had the opportunity to bid on artwork form our Memories in the Making Art Therapy program, which provides people with Alzheimer's a way to express their memories through art.  We had a record breaking year and three pieces of artwork sold in the live auction for over $1500.  Artist Frank was on hand to see his painting "Friends" sell for $2000!  We raised a total of $92,000 at the event.  To see photos of the event click here.
