Members, volunteers, friends and supporters of At Home Alexandria gathered at Belle Haven Country Club Oct. 6 to celebrate at AHA’s annual Fall Fundraiser and auction.
Vicki and Fabrice Vasques served as lead sponsors of the evening, with an array of silent auction items that included a week at a waterfront home in St. Michael’s, a French Country dinner for four at Del Ray Cafe, and a private Cabaret Dinner.
