At least 225 people attended the Celebrity Waiter Dinner to benefit the Amy Center on Saturday night. Waiters gave their tables a theme, from Mardi Gras decadence to a Hawaiian flair, and had games to go along with their themes, like pin-the-tail-on-the-horse at the Kentucky Derby-themed table. Amy Center Executive Director Ladonna Richards said the organization hopes to raise as much as $12,000 with the annual event.
