There were so many people present, a great silent raffle, and auction. A great time for all who joined the festivities! A very touching moment was when “Millie” Radonjic introduced a young student who had been battling (and overcome) cancer, and who had written and recited a wonderful poem. There was also a very proud moment for Greg and Lianne Merchant when their son, Marcel, was awarded the Eric Tutera Athlete’s award.
A GREAT night!
See you next year!
New Rochelle is GREAT!
