Friends of the Seekonk Veterans Memorial Park

The "Block Party" Friday evening 11/13/15 at the American Legion Post 311 was a great success. There are so many people to thank for their efforts and contributions.

First the Donors who filled the raffle tables. The biggest donation was a 50" Emerson HD TV given by The Chris Pelletier Team at Keystone Property Group LLC. The happy winner was David Ledeau. Other raffle items included (2) Full Auto Detail Services from A-1 Custom Auto Body in East Providence, $250 Teeth Whitening Certificate from Dr's Lisa Daft and Alexandra Costa of Seekonk.
Entertainment Certificates from the Seekonk Grand Prix, Seekonk Speedway, Segregansett Country Club, Firefly Golf Course, Dining Gift Cards from Baker's Corner Pizza, Best Pizza of Seekonk, El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant, Heaven on Earth Cafe, Lemon & Oil Deli, The Luxury Box, Micheletti's, The Old Grist Mill, Popular Pizza, Spumoni's and Toti's Grill & Pizzeria.

Herb Azevedo donated an authentic NFL Football signed by Tedy Bruschi, Ava Anderson Gift Bag by Christine Pestana DeFontes, Lego Sets by Chris Pelletier and the AllState Medical Group.

Many Gift Baskets donated by Margaret Ethier of the 7 time Late Model Champion Gerry DeGasparre TEAM71, Michael's of Seekonk and Young's Caterers.
The outstanding pasta dinner was provided by Young's Caterer's and without their undying help and devotion to the project this would not have been possible.
Last but certainly not least is a thank you to all the volunteers who collected items, sold tickets, helped set up and clean up and well, did just about everything to make this work.

From the Seekonk High School Molly O'Halloran, Dylan DeAmaral, Katie Garabian, TJ Dineen and Emily Santos. TJ Dineen was the highest raffle ticket seller and he will be receiving a special thank you gift for his efforts.

Finally thanking some true Friends of the Seekonk Veterans Memorial for their individual contributions to the evening, Susan Mallon, Margaret Ethier, Bryce DeGasparre, Lauren Bradshaw and Jim Saleeba as well as the American Legion Post 311 and our wonderful Bartender for use of their banquet hall and services.
Thank you all so much for your generosity and dedication to remembering all who have served and continue to serve our communities and free nation.

Dedication Day in 2016 will be one to remember. If you want to be part of the community project there is still time to purchase a memorial brick to honor your special veteran family and friends. It would be a great birthday or Christmas gift.
