Bread Pudding

Last night was the Brett Dennen benefit concert at the Barre Opera House. What an amazing night! We have to shower thanks on our friends Caroline and Zeb from The Point who approached us with the idea and produced the whole show. Brett Dennen and his band donated their talent to raise $14,000 for the Campaign. Brett traveled from California for the show and his guitar was destroyed in baggage claim on the plane. He played the whole show on a borrowed guitar. Brett is a wonderful artist and performer. He wore our End Hunger 2015 button throughout the whole show.

This was an incredible way to end 2009. Throughout the year we have been blessed by community support in every corner of the state. Thank you to all of our board, staff, and friends.

My personal new year's resolution is to be a more disciplined blogger! Please help me stick to that by checking back often in 2010. I wish you all peace and joy in the new year.
