Thanks fromTouchstone Farm

To the editor:

The FarmTastic Fundraising Committee, the board of directors, the staff and the clients of Touchstone Farm all wish to thank everyone who turned out for our fundraiser on Oct. 1.

We were overjoyed that 178 people braved the rainy weather to come to our evening event in the beautifully decorated historic barn. With delicious food from the Royโ€™s Market team, yummy seasonal cocktails and mocktails from Martiniโ€™s, live music with Gene Brochu, the festivities were topped off by a hotly contended auction of all things big and small, led by the consummate auctioneer himself, Steve Demaris. The evening was a rousing success by all accounts.

This event was generously sponsored by a variety of local businesses, large and small. With table captains inviting guests, many new friends were introduced to the variety of programs offered throughout the year at Touchstone Farm in Temple.

Thanks to these sponsors and generous guests, the event committee was delighted that the funds raised exceeded their wildest hopes. These dollars will go to helping all programs thrive, taking great care of our hard working staff and horses, while maintaining our historic farm property. Each dollar will be thoughtfully and wisely spent to support our mission.

Thank you one and all who attended. You put the fun into fundraising!
