Shelter Fundraising Gala

The year’s best party is just around the corner! Please join Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter for a beautiful evening on the bay at After The Ball, Friday, Oct. 2, 6-9:30 p.m., at Rock Wall Wine Company, 2301 Monarch Street, Alameda. The celebration will take place in the Rock Wall open hangar on Alameda Point with views of the San Francisco skyline. We’ll have live music, feats of beauty and daring by trapeze artists, and catering by Alameda’s renowned Asena restaurant. Bid on silent auction items that package a wide array of adventure, spa and culinary experiences, plus there will be an exciting live auction you won’t want to miss! So come relax with a glass of wine on the stunning Point while helping the Alameda Animal Shelter continue its work of caring for the island’s homeless and abandoned pets. Visit aftertheball.org for tickets, just $75 a person before Sept. 25 ($100 afterward).
