Approximately 300 benefactors and others joined us for a meal and award presentation. The dinner takes place to honor benefactors for their gifts of time, talent and resources, while also presenting the Queen Amelia, Sarah and Joseph Thralls and Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Companion awards.
The theme for this year’s dinner was “Cultivating Sacred Ground,” and the meal this year included greens and vegetables that came from the White Violet Center for Eco-Justice organic garden. The meal also included an edible flower that was part of the dessert.
