We extend a special Thank You to all of our guests that attended last Saturday’s Inspire Joy – A Celebration of Care at Avon Oaks Country Club. Over 150 guests enjoyed a special evening while helping to support the Farrell Foundation’s programs and services which remain no-cost to the community. The evening was filled with entertainment, dinner and a special program. The event was hosted by WKYC TV Special Projects Reporter Lindsay Buckingham and CLFF Board President Andrew Mangels. The evening included Live Music By Ruth Williams on keyboard and Nadine Kodysz playing violin. Auctioneer Bob Hale was spot on with his humor and effort for the cause. DJ Justin Lewandowski for On The Mic Entertainment provided music to dance to after the auctions. An enormous thank you to each of our sponsors, Gala Committee Co-Chairs Andrew Mangels and Betsy Wallace plus many, many others including the CLFF staff and volunteers. And a big thank you to the Avon Oaks Staff. We are most appreciative for the effort of photographer DeeAnn Rose who captured the joy in everyone’s smile that evening in a beautiful manner. Included in today’s Constant Contact are many images to view and enjoy. We will share more in the coming weeks. We greatly appreciated the Sponsorship of the following businesses and all of the individuals that helped to make the event a success!
