Sunday at Paradise Featured Fun and Funds for Enright CSA

The end of 2013 season celebration and benefit for the Enright CSA was held at the Paradise Lounge, just four doors down from the greenhouse. The new management welcomed us, the weather was perfect, the music just right, the food was excellent, and a good time was had by all who attended. 

Thanks to all the committee who made the party possible; Alison and Jules who found the band, made the poster, and brought cornbread; Jim D. who cased the joint and organized the setup crew; Nancy who brought the giant pot of veggie chili; Diana and Jeanne who provided desserts and hostess items and helped clean up; Michelle who provided slaw and dessert and took tickets; Suellyn who coordinated and emceed the event; the grocers who sold tickets; and various folks who publicized the event and then fetched and carried to set up and take down.

Thanks are also due to Rock Riddlebarger, our member who entertained us on steel guitar and dobro and to Benchwood Wyse, the young, thoroughly professional band who played for two hours and seemed to love it. Special thanks to LaShon, Karen, and the rest of the staff at Paradise, and to Steve, the owner, who gave a significant donation so that his regular customers could enjoy the meal and then purchased the cornshock decorations to keep for his next event.

If you were not able to attend, you may still offer a donation for the benefit of the CSA to help balance the books at the end of the season. Just give it to the grocer at the next pick-up, being sure to designate it for the benefit.
