The
Kate Svitek Memorial Foundations's 5th annual under
the Tent Event, honoring Hope and Bob Clair, held on
June 30, 2007 was a huge success. Beach Boys music performed
by All Summer Long on a perfect summer evening provided
the entertainment for the night.
The familiar music floated through the air evoking visions
of youth, rolling ocean waves, miles of sand and suntanned
surfers. "Good Vibrations" were felt by all
as the crowd, "Danced, Danced, Danced" in
the hopes of "Keepin' the Summer Alive." A
multitude of Hawaiian shirts and vibrant table decor
complemented by candles, shells, sand and water provided
the perfect backdrop for the ultimate event. Nearly
200 people attended with recognition given to the forty
plus couples who have attended all five of the KSMF
summer events. At a poignant moment, Ellen Svitek presented
to her parents, Hope and Bob Clair, a beautiful portrait
of their grandchildren. The painting was commissioned
in honor of the Clair's love, dedication and continuing
financial commitment to the Foundation.
Over $82,000 was raised and our heartfelt gratitude
is once again extended to all of the diligent supporters
for their help in making this event the best ever. |
