On Saturday night, my husband and I attended the
Celebration of Sound Masquerade Ball to benefit the
CLARKE Jacksonville Auditory/Oral Center. It was a fantastic night of live and silent auctions, wonderfully spicey New Orleans style food, dancing and guest speaker Vonetta Flowers. Vonette Flowers was the first African-American to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics. She spoke about her experience as a mother of a deaf child, and how much the Clarke School has changed their lives.
The image above is a New England Patriots helmet signed by the team before the Super Bowl. It was donated to the school for their live auction. It was an exciting bidding war that ended at $1400. Can you imagine what it would have gone for if they had won the Super Bowl and had gone undefeated!!!!!
