Charitable/Scholarship Dinner

 

 

 

Past President (1998-1999) Ted Avedesian planned the first "Scholarship" auction dinner to raise funds for scholarships during his year in office.  It was such a success that it continued every year, except for one.  So, this year is a milestone - the Twentieth Dinner!!  As Ted has told us many times, originally the event proceeds were totally intended to build up the Scholarship Fund.  When the Scholarship Fund had risen to more than $50,000, it was decided to split the dinner proceeds of future dinners between the Scholarship Fund and the Charitable Giving Fund.  Scholarships awarded went from $2,000 to $4,000 per year.

      

We have been fortunate that The Cooked Goose opens up to give us an exclusive evening.  Chef Andrew Nathan prepared a very special gourmet dinner from salad to dessert.   The Wine Store provided a selection of wines and other beverages.

                                             

   

 

A huge thank you to everyone who attended -  to Andrew, Jennifer and their fabulous staff - to the Royce Foundation.  We are so grateful to you all for making

the evening a wonderful success.
