Thank you for a wonderful evening at the Smith Center at Wolfe’s Neck celebrating preservation! We so appreciate your support—whether as an individual, patron, or corporate sponsor, attending the event and raising a paddle, purchasing a raffle ticket or bidding in our auction. We cannot do our work without your generosity!
