The torrential downpour on Saturday night did nothing to dampen spirits inside the graciously genteel Lenox Club (left, on a dryer evening), where vigorous supporters of VIM (Volunteers in Medicine) Berkshires ate, drank, and made merry at the gaming tables at the second annual Monte Carlo Night. The sold-out event, in support of a free clinic in Great Barrington, was anticipated to raise at least 15% of the organization's annual operating budget.
