Andina Fundraiser - A great first night!

Our first night of the Andina Fundraiser was a huge success. The room was filled. Everyone was smiling and the excitement of the evening festivities was contagious. Well, maybe not contagious - but certainly really fun.

We had 45-guests for the 5-course meal event. Each course was paired with a wine selected by Andina's renowned sommelier. The food and wine - along with the truly delightful conversations, made the evening unforgettable. Now to the drum roll please - we raised just over $10,000 in our first night . . . a very big hoooooray!

Tonight is night number two and we are just as excited for this evenings event. We are looking toward another packed room and hope to raise an additional $10,000+ for our projects and programs.

Keep your fingers crossed that tonight is just as successful as last night! Thank you for all of your support.
