Many thanks from the Board of the Nolumbeka Project to everyone who
helped make the March 2nd Free Soup and Games Night benefit a success.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Jim Zaccara and staff of Hope &
Olive restaurant for opening their doors to this fundraising opportunity
and for helping us in many other ways.
We especially thank the
businesses which contributed delicious soups and breads to us: Bread
Euphoria, Clay Oven, Diemand Farms, Franklin County Technical School,
Frosted, Green Fields Market, Magpie, Mesa Verde, Peoples Pint,
Rendezvous, and the Wagon Wheel. We had a wonderful array of desserts
thanks, in part, to donations from Apex Orchards, Megahn Carr, Hazel
Dawkins, Shirl Majewski, and Elyssa Serrilli.
Among our most popular
raffle items were gift certificates from Foster’s Super Market, Big Y,
an arrowhead made by Neill Bovaird of Wolf Tree programs, beads made by
Mary Wheelan, and a half hour massage with hot stones from Rachel E.
Arnold, LMT.
We are so grateful to the volunteers who helped throughout
the evening: Dan Dickinson and his friend Amy, Ericalyn Farnham,
Theresa Scheutze, Kelsey Shafer, Lance Smith, Dianne Supler, and Michael
Van Camp. And a big thanks to WRSI and Monte for the helping to spread
the word.
