Lights, Camera, Auction!

The magic of cinema is the theme
Honoring Bridges is our common dream
Tantalizing movie trivial, breathtaking bids
Can we just say, "Here's looking at you kids!"
If we quote from the movies, please excuse,
But, "Make us an offer we can't refuse!"
An evening of fun, food and dare! Because,
"Frankly my dears", about Bridges we care.
