The 6th Annual "A Taste of The Cove Gala" was a huge success!
The Gala was held on May 1, 2010 at the Rocky Hill Marriot. This year our guest hosts were Meriden Mayor Mike Rohde and Cove Teen Roni Crumb. They shared their personal experiences and helped attendees to better understand the value and impact of The Cove's mission and programming. The evening included a wine tasting, and silent and live auctions

The Cove relies on the support we receive from the community. Whether it is a cash donation, sponsorship of an event or item for our auction, each gift allows us to carry out our mission. We can truly make a difference in the lives of the grieving children in our Family Programs and our School Based Programs because of our supporters.

On behalf of the children and families we are so honored to serve, we thank you for your generosity and want you to know how much we value you as a Cove supporter.

Sincerely,
Soren Sonson and Heidi Buckley – 2010 Gala Co-chairs
