Murphys, CA...The Sold Out Alhambra Room at Ironstone is still filled with over 200 of the area's gliteratti that are really glittering tonight. Black ties and sequinned gowns are standard faire. They have yet to announce the judged dancing routines but the real winner is already apparent. The Hospital Foundation stands to gain significantly from tonight's event. We spoke with the Foundation's Nicki Stevens and while they are still tabulating...the event should raise over $60,000 for the Foundation. The Kautz Family was unbelievably generous with their huge contribution of 200 dinners for tonight's fundraiser....
