On Sunday May 4^th we held an exciting benefit performance featuring Rossijanochka, the Russian award-winning youth folk dancers. The event began with a patron’s reception which included an authentic Russian samovar tea service.

There was also a showing of our video and remarks from our Board Chair, Cherie Burton, Executive Director, Christi Rose and our special guest, Rainforest ArtLink partner teacher Ana Gonzalez Batista from Cesar Batalla Middle School in Bridgeport, CT.

This was followed by a spirited and successful live auction where guests generously bid on exciting and exotic trips and supported ourFund the Mission.  The evening was lively, fun and very successful! We wish to thank everyone for making the event a smash hit!!
