"This is the second consecutive year that we, along with our New York City Affiliate, the Alcoholism Council of New York, have hosted this great event and I'm pleased to see that it is more successful this year than last!" declared Stacia Murphy, NCADD president.

Photographs include Affiliate directors, staff and board members as well as members serving on the National Board. Candid shots of the popular auction of celebrity items feature a "West Wing" script signed by Spencer, Tiger Woods' golf bag, Derek Jeter's autographed baseball glove, and Andy Pettitte's autographed shoes, hat and glove.
