| Farms to Fork September 2011A group of over 100 people had a wonderful time at the Farms to Fork Connecticut-Grown Dinner hosted by the Windsor Education Foundation (WEF) at Northwest Park on Friday, September 16th, 2011. The fundraiser benefitted WEF which encourages community support for excellence in public education and provides funding for innovative projects and programs in the Windsor Public Schools.
Anita Mips, a new WEF board member, made everyone feel welcome at the registration table. The evening started with gourmet hors d'oeuvres, wine and wine charms personalized with each guest's name and crafted from fallen branches by Attorney Richard Vassallo, a founding WEF board member and current Vice President.
While the delicious hors d'oeuvres and Connecticut wine were being enjoyed, poured by Liz and Jim Burke with help from Cyndi Deshais, the attendees chatted and browsed the twelve Connecticut auction items on which they would later bid.
By 6:15 pm, everyone had chosen a table and many pleasant comments were heard regarding the lovely table settings. The WEF board and Farms to Fork committee took pains to make the tables homey yet elegant, with earth-friendly plates and 'sliver'ware; all made of biodegradable bamboo.
Florence Barlow, co-president, and Paula Pierce, Vice President, welcomed and thanked the eager diners and new board member, Lisa Bress, introduced two of the foundation's grant recipients who spoke of the benefits their programs made to Windsor's school children.
