Steve and Ted discussed the 21st Charitable/Scholarship Dinner. One special item in process is a "Holiday on Block Island" - round trip airfare, hotel stay, dinner package. More to come!!! A reminder - reserve your seat as soon as possible. Since our fabulous dinner by Andrew Nathan is usually underwritten by a generous donor, we have little to no expense. Our proceeds will be split between our Charitable giving and Scholarship funds.
