A Yellow Tie Affair event is scheduled for March 21, 2010 at the City Hall Rotunda in San Jose, California, from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. Designed to be the first leg leading up to the wildly popular Silicon Valley Duck Race (www.siliconvalleyduckrace.org), this inaugural event is designed to raise money for Project N.O.A.H. (No One Abandoned Here). The Yellow Tie fundraiser offers attendees food prepared and presented by local chefs paired with wine poured by select vintners, while accompanied by the splashy sounds of Joel Nelson. Scott Budman, NBC11 tech reporter, will serve as master of ceremonies for this widely anticipated event and includes both live and silent auctions.
