FORWARD THINKERS

Smokin’ Betty’s played host to a bachelor/bachelorette auction April 2 to raise funds for the William Way LGBT Community Center. “Gay It Forward” drew some 230 people and raised $2,230 for the center. Chris Bartlett (third from right), executive director of the William Way and one of the 13 who were auctioned off, brought in $250. The showcase was organized by Nicholas “Rocco” DiFinis, who called the event a “really great success.” Photo: Scott Drake
