This evening there was a gathering of supporters of the local chapter of the American Diabetes Association at the Daily Grind. Supporters bought stuffed bears for their children ... 

... turned in sponsorship pledges for a diabetes walk that will be held next weekend ... 

... and listened to the music of Susan Hayes and Dave Brown — all to raise funds for the association. Sarah, one of the servers at the coffee shop, donated her time for the eveing. Sam, the owner, donated a portion of the proceeds from sales during the evening and held a silent auction of photographic prints donated by photographers who frequent the Grind.

One of my photographs sold at auction. It was taken a week after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, when hummingbirds began returning to the Gulf coast.
