Early in January, Waldonwood, a retirement community in Rochester, hosted 30 guests to raise funds for our Dolly Parton Imagine Library. They invited their residents, prospects, professionals and other local community members to attend. The attendees were greeted by a life- size Dolly cut out and a poster explaining that for a small donation, they could provide a book a year to a preschooler in our zip codes. The community staff was on hand and very helpful. Sommelier Jean-Jacques Fertal guided attendees through a curated selection of wines, perfectly complemented by lite bites prepared by Chef Aaron Nash. Together the efforts resulted in the sponsorship of 57 preschoolers who will each receive a book a month for a year.
Thank you Waldonwood!
