Nutcracker 2013 Cast Party Thank You from Event Chair

 

Dear New Haven Ballet Community,


I wish to thank all of you for your kindness in donating the wonderful appetizers, baked goods and beverages to the 2013 Nutcracker Cast Party. The party would not have been possible without your generosity and support.


I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to the team that helped me organize, shop for, set up and clean up the party: 
Helen Aliwalas, Nikolay and Robin Ayers, Morgan and Roberta Campbell, Amy Chai, Kristin Crowley, Isabelle and Joe Firine, Maggie Fletcher, Deb Lynch, Aerin, Katie and Julia McLaughlin, Alice and Brook Perrigo, Deb and Morgan St. John, Ian, Judy and Tony Spak, Tracy Vitelli and John and Marye Wagner. They were a fabulous team!


I know I speak for each of us when I say we had great fun creating and hosting this party and were honored to have a role helping with this extraordinary and beautiful Nutcracker. None of this year's magic would have been possible without the vision of our Interim Artistic Director, Lisa Sanborn, each and every dedicated faculty staff member and volunteer and last but certainly not least...our Board of Directors for the unwavering dedication of their time and wisdom which is bringing such growth to our beloved school. 


Most truly yours,


Fiona Cullinan Firine
