Thank you to everyone for helping make our first annual Pasta Dinner for Autism Speaks a huge success. Photos will be posted shortly. With your help we raised $2300.
A special thanks to:
Doreen of Flatbread Company of Canton for donating the supplies we needed for the sauce and for the generous raffle prize. It is a favorite of Scot Haney's from Better Connecticut too. A visit to Flatbread is a must!
Nick DeFelippi for spending the entire day in the kitchen helping prepare the food.
Mary Znosko for the meatball donation.
Stop & Shop for the bread donation.
Price Chopper for the Pasta donation.
The Quartette Club for donating the use of their facility.
Monarch Jewelers, Stag Arms (Mark & Amanda Malkowski), The DeFelippi Family, Frank & Nancy Sesto, Bernice Gendreau, Carly & Josh Keith, David & Kathie Balkun, Jack & Chris Balkun, Mary Znosko, Kim Balkun, Tina & Peter Sitar, Flatbread Company and anyone else we may have missed for donating raffle prizes.
Davy Balkun and Tommy Danielwicz for providing the music.
Everyone who baked, everyone who pitched in and everyone who attend, thank you very much for helping us make this a success. We sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you to Sam Arasimowicz for holding a tag sale to benefit Tony's Crew. She raised $161.50. Your the best Sam!
Mrs. Kennedy wrote me a very special poem when I left last year. It sits in a special place in my room and I will always treasure it.
My poem to Mrs Kennedy is not nearly as lovely as hers but I'm sure you'll find it amusing, especially if you know me. It was a tearful goodbye, but I think we've all adjusted. They will always be special to me.

I'm lucky. I have so many great people in my life who are always ready to speak on my behalf when I am unable.....I hope we can all come together and help do something to help the kids who don't have that. Well I'm gonna go press my chin into my mother's head now, (If you've met me, you know I'm not kidding) but I'll be back.
P.S. Want your business or organization mentioned. Just join our Walk Now for Autism team or make a donation today and I'll make sure mom puts a link up to your web site on our business sponsors page.
