More Auction Items for Dine & Rhyme

In case you haven't noticed, BOA is in full-tilt pre-Dine & Rhyme mode!

Midtown is western New York's premiere sports resort, providing members a complete fitness, sports and social experience. Our favorite thing about Midtown is their willingness to offer non-traditional classes for their members' minds, bodies, and spirits.   BOA and Midtown came together several months ago to start planning this first session and everyone involved is thrilled with the outcome.
