Spring Benefit 2008:
Celebrating Connections
Over 250 people attended
the Spring Benefit—Celebrating Connections on April 12, 2008 at the
Evanston Golf Club. The record $70,000 raised through sponsorships and the
silent and stop auctions will help support housing initiatives for clients of
Connections for the Homeless.
Many thanks to the hard-working benefit
committee, co-chaired by board member Geeta Krishnamurthi and Abbey Romanek, to
the board members of Connections for their continuing dedication and their
significant support of the mission of Connections, and to
everyone who attended the event or participated in any way.
