The event raised money for Chihuly’s glass schools that provide a place for underprivileged kids to learn a skill that otherwise they never would have never experienced. The wine and food was delicious and the Theo Chocolate tasting dessert bar was amazing. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait for next year!

I just discovered The Needle while researching your work with NewsCloud. It's been added to our Online Media Guide database, which is a project of mine I'd like to share more about with you. The Needle has already changed quite a bit since I last saw it a few days ago, keep up the good work! Jeff, thanks for the clarification, I revised the article to include that info.
