FALLBROOK – A sold-out crowd filled the clubhouse at Vista Valley Country Club on Saturday evening, Nov. 3 as 180 guests attended the seventh annual ‘Dinner with the Docs’ gala and fundraiser hosted by the Foundation for Senior Care.

Festivities began with cocktails and hors d’ oeuvres, giving guests the opportunity to mingle with 20 of Fallbrook’s finest physicians and bid on the foundation’s featured silent auction items, many of which were graciously donated by local merchants in the community.

Master of Ceremonies Bill Metcalf hosted a seamless program as he thanked Physician’s Partner Sponsor, Graybill Medical Group, Inc., for inviting all 20 physicians to attend the fundraiser, followed by the introduction of the event’s Platinum Sponsor, Silvergate Retirement Residences.

One of the highlights in the event’s program included the presentation of an award honoring Dr. Daniel A. Manring, in recognition of his dedication as Advertisement
