It was sunny and beautiful outside, but over 100 of you still came to our annual spring party! Continuing tradition of previous years, ecohaus offered us their beautiful showroom for the event (read about what they had to say on their blog). Members, donors and other community members joined us in supporting the River City Skate Park while enjoying great appetizers (prepared with love by the ECOSS staff!), delicious wine, coffee and music. Skate Like A Girl was on hand to offer us some great prizes for our raffle, as well as Wendy Woldenberg of W2 Jewelry Design, who sold her jewelry during the event.
When the night wrapped, we had raised a good chunk of money for a great project in our community. The theme of the 2008 Annual Dinner was “Community, Collaboration and Renewal,” and I was proud to see ECOSS continuing to turn those words into action in new ways.
Pictures coming soon! Thanks again to all who attended.
