Due to
numerous vacation conflicts, there will
not be an NBA monthly membership meeting
this month.
As a
note...
The
Annual Fundraiser
which took place on the evening of June
11th, was a fabulous affair! Approx. 250 of
our members and friends attended the event,
which featured an evening relaxing and
networking, while feasting on a sumptuous
repast provided by Anthony's Pier 4.
Mayor Menino was
on hand to assist in honoring our "Person of
the Year", Marvin Gilmore (President & CEO
of the Community Development Corp. of Boston
and one of the original founders of the NBA)
and even offered up to let people bid on
lunch with him, for the live auction. 8
People took him up on his offer at $500.
each, thus raising $4000. toward our total.
Bidding for both the live and silent
auctions was spirited and when the dust
settled, we had raised over $30,000. toward
our charitable efforts in the Newmarket
area.
Many thanks to
all of our members who attended, donated
items, and/or bid on the auction items!
Our next
Membership meeting will be held on
Wednesday, August 13th at 8am at the
Marriott Courtyard Hotel at South Bay.
