Anniversary (un)Gala: Charcuterie, Legacy and Charming Villains

We had so much fun with you celebrating our 10th anniversary! Thank you for the well wishes. Big thanks to our gala sponsors Barbara Brothers, Roger Craik & Jimmy Sutman; centerpiece creator Irisa Green; charcuterie wizard Adam Lee; musician Katie O'Neill; celebrity bartenders John Noga & Shawn Crum; emcee and literary villain cliche (haha!) Meg Albani; literacy legacy presenters and contemporary writers Chris Barzak, Cherise Benton, Phil Brady, Allison Pitinii Davis, Dante DelBene Terry Murcko and Jimmy Sutman. Thank you the YSU Poetry Club for lending a hand, to our literary villain contestants and judges Rick Schilling and Jane Shanabarger, and to basket donors and ticket buyers. You all made for a very fine evening, and sent us into the new year with a good pile of coins in our pocket. Karen thanks the board for their kind words and affirmation. Let's keep going and we hope to celebrate year 11 with you!
