Another Great Summer Party on the Shore!

DateJanuary 5, 2009 | Filed Under Habitat News Archive 

Thanks to all the supporters of this year’s Annual Summer Party on the Shore at the beautiful  Owenego Inn in Branford! The party, which featured a fabulous silent auction, was a great success and raised much needed funds for Habitat’s upcoming projects. The program included Habitat’s 18th Annual Master Builder Award ceremony.  This year’s honorees were Yale-New Haven Hospital and its medical staff for the sponsorship of 15 Wilson Street (dedicated on May 16); Reverend Eric Fjeldal, past president of Habitat’s Board of Directors and a longtime volunteer and supporter; and Rosemarie Paine, Chairwoman of Habitat’s Women’s Build and Board member from 2001-2007.

Special thanks to the main event sponsors:  NewAlliance Bank Foundation, Turner Construction, Webster Bank, Yale-New Haven Hospital, Youth Continuum, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and the law firm of Jacobs, Grudberg, Belt, Dow & Katz, P.C. Habitat deeply appreciates their generous support!

Habitat plans to return to the Owenego next year for the 3rd Annual Summer Party. If you missed the event this year, you’ll want to be sure to make it next year!
