Waiting for the final word from our Cocktail Party chair, Miriam Comitta, I can tell you that it was a BLAST!

The fund raiser grossed over $9000, netting more than $5500 as a rough estimate (details to follow). The well attended party at the Merion Tribute House included light music, good food, lots of silent auction opportunities, and Michelle Gold providing a share of the spirit! The Merion Tribute House was perfect for this gathering. Their large room allowed for all of the silent auction tables, the food and tables for sitting (and lots of room for standing and chatting) to be in one space. Lots of us got to catch up with each other, and meet with frosh/novice parents and introduce them to the social side of LM Crew.

The final event of the evening was a live auction. What a hoot. Next year's event will have to go very far to beat this one. Thank you Miriam and your co-chair Karen Falck for a great outing with LM Crew!
