Mobile bidding will also be added to the auction this year and dinner coupled with outstanding entertainment from one of Atlanta’s hottest bands - Anita and the Party Band will make the night fly away. River Garden is delighted that Jackie and Stephen Goldman are chairing the amazing Gala committee.
