Drink Event with SEABA

By admin on January 12th, 2012

Thanks to all of our supporters and those who attended the Drink Event with SEABA on January 10th! The evening was very positive and the send off to outgoing Executive Director, Roy Feldman, was fabulous. A special thanks to Steve Conant, of Conant Metal & Light, for the gift to Roy of a custom music stand and to Emily Jones, of Lake Champlain Chocolates, for the tasty and creative chocolate sculpture. With all of your help, we created a memorable evening and fund-raiser for the organization.

Roy Feldman, with his completely edible Thank You card. 90% Bittersweet chocolate for that happy, though bittersweet moment! Thanks for everything, Roy, and thanks for sharing your gifts with us!
