Maybe it's just us, but we thought this year was really special. We once again had the pleasure of hosting our 16th Annual Benefit, Opening Doors, at Herban Feast. The food and drinks were aplenty, the auction items were enticing, and the live music served as a perfect backdrop to endless opportunities for networking and reconnecting. But that's not even the best of it. Richard Conlin generously stepped up as our guest speaker and spoke eloquently and passionately about ECOSS. Jim Borgen, our perennial emcee, served us once again, adding humor and poignant personal anecdotes about his involvement with ECOSS over the years. And that video! ECOSS, in tandem with the good folks at More Dust than Digital, worked tirelessly to produce a simple, honest video to illustrate who we are and what we do - and it seems as though you loved it! We raised more money during our Big Ask for ECOSS than we have in years.

When the last dollar was pulled out of the raffle envelope and after all pennies were counted from the tip jar, we ended up raising nearly $50,000 in support of ECOSS. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you.

We would love your feedback about the event! Please take a few minutes to fill out our very short survey.

Did you miss the event? Did you attend and want to relive some of the best moments? Don't worry, we have plenty of photographic documentation on our Flickr page.

If you have any questions or concerns about your auction purchases or billing - don't worry! The auction coordinator was out of the office for the last week with the flu and is working on getting everything done quickly. We appreciate your patience.
