WPA Hosts the 2011 Annual Awards Dinner
On April 27th, 2011, WPA held its Annual Awards Dinner at Capitale. Idoline Scheerer and Dennis Watlington were honored, and pottery created by children at Huntington House served as table centerpieces and was auctioned during the event. The program included a short video featuring three women who were photographed for our annual campaign, and they were presented with framed photos and certificates. We showed a joyful and telling video of the children from Huntington House working on the pottery as a lead-in to the live auction, run by Nicholas Dawes, who returned for the third year as our auctioneer.
For the first time, we had an after-party immediately following the dinner. The after-party attracted nearly 150 new people to WPA.
