From Slopes to Shores, Auction Offers Unique Experiences, Items

Ever dream of skiing on a private mountain, with no lines, just 3 hours from your doorstep? Or taking a break to relax by the fire in a brand new, 85,000-foot timber frame lodge, while the kids enjoy tubing, snowmobiling or skating? Or maybe, with your new guest membership to the exclusive Hermitage Club in Vermont, you can take a quick trip to enjoy a round of golf and the spa during the summer.

How about spending a week in the serenity of Martha’s Vineyard, in a beautiful home a stone’s throw from the beach? From the slopes of Vermont to the shores of Martha’s Vineyard, your dream vacation can become a reality thanks to the generosity of our donors, and our 10th anniversary Gala on Nov. 15.

Or maybe you’re a sports fan. How would you like to hear the roar of the engines and watch the Indy 500, or listen to the roar of the crowd after a dunk at a Knicks game? Into food and wine? How about a culinary tour of Fairfield County, with gift certificates to a dozen of the area’s best restaurants. Or maybe you fancy a more creative culinary experience, hosted by Circle of Care Co-Founders Liz Salguero and Dawn Ladenheim, as they and other members of the board host a dinner party for you and your guests.

The Gala, to be held at Dolce in Norwalk on Sat. Nov. 15th, is shaping up to be a fun night, with a full bar, a live band and fantastic silent and live auction items – all to benefit Circle of Care’s programs.
