Greg & Chell Amsler and Craig Peters

Observed
This year's Boys & Girls Club Auction drew hundreds to the temporarily-baseball-themed Mann Biomedical Park for a night of heavy bidding (not be confused with "imbibing," though there was plenty of that, too). Event Co-chairs Greg and Chell Amsler effectively played the Tommy Lasorda role, guiding their slew of volunteers to the World Series of auctions; of course, they hit it out of the park.

The night's other MVPs included Craig Peters, who is currently heading up the organization's Campaign for Kids; Andy and Laura Gallardo; Jayne and Chris Fall (sporting logo'd baseball tees - marketing genius!); and the crew from MB2 Raceway (Sean Quinn, Chris Brooks, Martine Brooks, and Mitch, Mary and James Masoner).

Katie Burbank

Overheard
Inside SCV Magazine's favorite slugger - and sales rep extraordinaire - Katie Burbank, wore her magazine pride (literally) on her sleeve at the Boys & Girls Club event. Burbank recently graduated with her bachelor's of science degree in business administration from California State University, Northridge. As for what the "eight" stands for, we can only guess that it's a representation of her approximate tenure at CSUN.
