Successful Night at Hysteria

Thursday April 17, we joined the women of The Clinic in their annual Hysteria benefit, showing investors, sponsors, and others involved in the health care industry a glimpse of the new website. Still in the beta testing process, we were able to gather feedback from potential surfers and benefactors. The night ended with an appropriate and hysterical set by Caroline Rhea. She set the icing on the cake by auctioning off three of her cd’s for over $500!
