We wish to apologize to those who arrived too late to get into last month’s gala award presentation. So sorry, but our house size is limited by fire regulations and the hall filled up within 10 minutes of opening the doors. For those who missed it and, and those who might like to relive that amazing night there’s a photo essay.
