A HUGE THANK YOU!


Each day I look at the pictures on our website, www.valleyunitedway.org
I chuckle! What a great night! But it would not have been possible without the help of some very special people.

First, our sponsors: Bob Scinto, for allowing us the use of the beautifully renovated Il Palio Restaurant; Ed, Rakesh & Ray from Cork & Keg for providing the beer and wine and Charlie Sullivan of John J. Sullivan's Restaurant for providing the tequila sunrises and Harvey Wall bangers for the evening.

Also, to Cindi Robinson-general manager,Jeff Urban-executive chef and Sue-our talented bartender of Il Palio, for their excellent food and service. And of course, Bill Piaciatelli, our wonderful DJ who had people dancing to the 70's for hours. In addition, thanks to our volunteers, Joyce Saltes, Liz Egan, John Ready, Allison Wilson, Adrienne Cabral, Melissa Pucci and Patricia Tarasovic who helped with registration, photography and raffle tickets sales. They were just the BEST!!!

Our silent auction donators: Bob Scinto & his daughter Katie for the Bluefish box seats, Mike Quoka of Oxford Paint and Hardware for the Ducane Gas Grill, Bob Grier Photography for the Cleveland golf putter, Linda Holmes-Hannon of Homewood Suites for the overnight stay and Charlie Nolan of Soundview Food Service for the gift certificate toward a catered event.

Our raffle prize donators: John J. Sullivans, Center Stage, Panache Hair Design, Yankee Clipper, B & L Men's Store, Brookside Inn, Latex Foam, Maria's Hair Gallery, Melissa Pucci, PJ's and Company, River Restaurant, Simply Body Walmart and Townline Storage for their gift certificates!

Oh and I can't forget, a million thanks to all of you who attended our 70's night! With the funds we raised, we will be assisting those in need to improve their quality of life. Have a great weekend!
