4th Annual Progressive Dinner

The 4th annual Progressive Dinner was, once again, a tremendous success.  Approximately  85 people enjoyed an evening of good food, good wine & good company.   I would like to thank all who helped make this evening possible, particularly Ursula Steele, Mary John, Dana Davis & Faith Witte.  A big thank you also goes out to our hosts & co-hosts: Anne & Christopher Banks, Mindy & Eric Sherbet, Mary & Jake Gibbs, Jenifer & Greg Demko, Diana & Richard Gomberg, Deb Klein & Jasper Reid, Kathleen & Rory Maguire, Dan & Joanne Foley, Alexa Dulchinos & Jim Benninger, Melissa & Bill Hartranft, Kevin & Melissa Gulley and Lynn & Mike Melville.    Everyone raved about the great food & hospitality!   

Thanks everyone!

The PTO would like to thank the chair person Phyllis Attisano for all her effort in making this a fun filled enjoyable activity for the Day parents. 

Phyllis will be moving on to Newton North next year, so for this event to continue someone will need to step up to organize it.  Please contact one of the Day PTO co-presidents for more information.
