10th Anniversary of The Melting Pot ~ A Taste of Many Nations September 11th, 2014 Welcome On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff and clients, thank you for attending our 10th annual fundraising event, “The Melting Pot ~ A Taste of Many Nations.” We are excited to share our mission with you, while at the same time introducing you to a sampling of the many different cultures that make up our community. Our local chefs have provided many flavorful dishes and we have a wide selection of items for our Silent Auction. Our emcee, Allan Fee from Q104, will be announcing closing times for bidding and alert you to other events throughout the night. Take time to chat with old and new friends, while “Just Friends” plays a music medley that spans generations. As we face the growing need for services and a reduction in overall funding, we are especially grateful for your support. We hope you enjoy the evening. Linda M.
