Annapolis, MD (Feb. 20, 2014) – A nine-day James Bond adventure for two in European secret locations will be up for bid at the Black Tie and Diamonds Gala by the Rotary Club of Annapolis. The trip is just one of six that guests can claim with winning bids at the 11th annual benefit from 6 to 11 p.m. March 1 at Loews Annapolis Hotel, 126 West St.

In addition, the American Fundraising Foundation will auction off:
