Annual fundraiser – Play It Again, Sam
This year’s annual fundraiser at the Coral Gables Museum was a night under the stars, “Casablanca” style. Taking its cues from the famous 1942 movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, the museum was transformed into Rick’s Café Americain, replete with a big band and gambling tables. And while it wasn’t played again by Sam, the melody of “As Time Goes By” brought sighs of romance from the crowd of local luminaries – some of whom actually danced the night away.
