Support for the River of Time Museum Saturday night was overwhelming – from the involvement of almost 100 businesses who donated items and certificates, to a solid group of volunteers who know what needs to be done and stepped up to make sure the event was successful, and from the community who came to the event, filling the four ballrooms at the Community Center and buying up just about everything on display.

We are extremely grateful!

First and foremost we want to recognize Phil Rodakis, who donated all the food for the dinner. Phil’s Filling Station Grill has generously assisted the museum for many years and we are so appreciative of Phil’s continuing support.

We appreciate State Senator John Kavanagh accepting the job of auctioneer and eliciting much laughter as he encouraged higher bidding.

Tommy Holloway entertained everyone with his songs.

Expertly guiding us through the planning and execution was Director Luke Bate.

Also, thanks to Mike Fenzel and staff at the Community Center for their attention to detail.

But when it comes right down to it, we couldn’t possibly function without the dedication of time, energy and expertise from our loyal volunteers. Thank you to Paul and Gail Appeldorn, Gerard Bisceglia, Gerry Colbert, Fran Intervallo, Tod and Pat Isaacson, Boe and Marie James, Bill Kulekowskis, Ciara, Noreen, and Stacy Kurdzialek, Remy Lazarowitz, Jean Linzer, Cynthia Magazine, Jack and Kathy Mateski, Bill and Sandy Myhr, Bill and Gail Pape, Lisa Poll, Pat Solski, Vicki Thompson, Bob VonderHaar, Anne Wicklund, Bob and Pat Wilson and Dave and Jane Wingert.

To all the volunteers, the supporting businesses and everyone who came to enjoy the evening and helped us raise funds to reimagine, redesign and rediscover the River of Time Museum as we work to fulfil our 2020 Vision – Thank all of you!
