Annual Fundraising Event for the SPACe Building Expansion

The recipes for the delicious meals were provided by Judith Baker Montano and prepared by volunteers who not only donated their time but also the ingredients. Judith orchestrated the organization of the entire event, instructing the servers, and creating a wonderful event that ran smoothly. Many of the chefs also assisted serving the dinners. These volunteers included Gerry Benesky, Deb Donovan, Katharine Emsden, Mary Jean Fowler, Ann Gethen, Kathy Hill, Jessica Newton, and Laura Smith. Judith also contributed to the main course entrées. In addition, several volunteers helped serve wine as well as meals, including Ed Donovan, Maggie MacIndoe, John and Linda Frederick, John Gethen, and Bert Rosen. John Manos and Deanna Oberheu helped recruit the volunteer waitresses--Christine Koutnik, Cara Campbell, Gina and Sophia Schneider, Jacey Day, Karlie Corsentino, and Sammie Willhoit. Businesses and others who contributed to the success of the evening include the La Veta Library for chairs, La Veta School of the Arts for chairs and tables, La Veta Liquor, Charlie's Market, True Value Hardware, the Ryus Ave. Bakery (food and kitchen), the Parkside Gallery (kitchen), Tom Lessar and his excellent crews, Polly Harris and Ernest Shealy.  In addition, the artists at La Veta Fine Art Gallery contributed their time and desserts as well as Nicole Copel and her assistants at Pinon Hill Pottery, who contributed their time and appetizers.
