Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - At the end of March, the Puerto Vallarta Men's Chorus (PVMC) held 'De Colores,' a fundraising event at Blanca Blue Restaurant. The auction was successful for the Chorus, and the evening was fabulous fun for attendees, who enjoyed dinner, dancing, and an auction filled with lovely items.
