6/1/2009 - Ladybug Wine Events Raise Record Amount

"We appreciate being part of the ARC effort. The chance to contribute to the Ladybug Fund, which benefits children, literally gives you goosebumps," said Don Stevens, owner of Stevens Jewelers and an ARC Board of Directors member.

In addition, Custom Kitchens, Inc. donated their design studio for a "unique evening" consisting of a food and wine tasting for 20 guests at their Design Studio on Horsepen Road, with food prepared by Chef Wes Holland of Any Occasion Catering and wine provided by Thom Horsey of Rodney Strong Wine Estates. This auction item was so popular that Custom Kitchens offered to repeat it, with a total of $7,000 raised for ARC.

"The owners of Custom Kitchens, Richard and David Hendrick, were happy to make a 'double donation' to such a worthy cause," said Meg Downs of Custom Kitchens. "Custom Kitchens is pleased to support the families of children with special needs through such a successful event."
