DCADV's 1st Members Only Event |
|
 On the warm summer evening of August 2nd, DCADV was joined by Supporting Members and their guests at the home of DCADV Board Member Carol Arnott Robbins and her husband Tucker Robbins for our first ever Members Only Event. This was a chance for DCADV staff and board members to meet, talk with and thank many of our members for their support. Executive Director Carol Post reiterated the importance of membership: both the power in numbers supporting our mission and how unrestricted membership fees support much of our work that is not grant funded.
This event was sponsored by Performance Consultant Group Inc. Premier Wine & Spirits generously donated red and white wine and delicious hors d'oeuvres were provided at a discount by Movable Feast.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and our wonderful members! We look forward to seeing you all again at a future Members Only Event! Click here to view photos from the event. |
