Garden Party a Success
Thank you to all who donated auction items or attended the Garden Party at 99 Main Restaurant. The event was a huge success and raised over $5,000 to fund the mission of the Newport News Green Foundation. A special thank you to Jo Harding, Chair of the Advocates Guild, Doug Kennedy, Green Corps Advisor, the members of the Green Corps, and members of the Green Foundation Board of Directors who made the event a reality. We look forward to seeing everyone next year. |
