Sep 27: A Night in Paris Gala & Art Auction

The 2025 Bay School Gala & Art Auction was one for the record books! Despite a significant downpour of rain prior to and during most of the event, our supporters turned out in their finery and rain gear to celebrate A Night in Paris!

Our gracious hosts this year were Robert Williams and Elizabeth Rountree, owners of Brighton Farm.

Members were treated to a private reception in the Winter House prior to the event, and all enjoyed jazz guitar played by Tony Mata in the tent during the Silent Auction portion of the evening. As the evening progressed, guests revealed the depth of their sense of humor and embraced the opportunity to go barefoot in the mud while appreciating art, good company, and the excellent dinner provided by Brian Marshall.

Although Mother Nature presented us with a challenge this year, the experience underscored how deeply grateful we are to all who turned out and spent A Night in Paris with us, making it a successful and memorable event.
