The auction was a huge success and a lot of fun. This year we raised $9,948. Special thanks to Jerry Frisch for his very generous
donation.

The Pizza Party:
The bakeoven was built and fired under the guidance and supervision of Peter Moore of Pawlet, VT. Frank Giammaria of Montreal was
the very enthusiastic and professional pizza chef. Hikari Fukazawa and Takuya Wakayama from Japan helped Frank with the pizza dough.
Everyone was involved in creating the 130 pizzas under the guidance of Frank who brought 75 lbs of "pizza goodies" on the plane with him.
This year, we decided not to eat in the dining room after Pizza - we didn't have to!
Cleanup:
Everything was torn down.
