2008 Friends Dining With Friends

Friends Dining with Friends is off to a great start. Many thanks to: The Friends Dining with Friends 7 planning committee, Party hosts, Sponsors and the hundreds of guests who are attending parties and giving generously.

Michael Barry and Matt Griffin Party

April 26th, 2008

We are thrilled with the results of our first party. The food and wine was spectacular and our friends and neighbors had a wonderful time. More importantly though, we raised awareness of the needs of low-income people living with HIV right here in our community while raising critical funding for Clare Housing. Many thanks to everyone that helped make our event such a great success, especially the Barry Foundation for matching all the gifts.

I had so much fun (and so much to do) at my party that I was only able to take pictures of the beautiful set-up! I want to thank everyone who helped make the party a hit, especially my friends, who showed up and gave their support to Clare Housing!

"My condo is small, but I still like to do things BIG," says Maureen as she describes her annual FDWF party. Her friends wouldn't accept anything less from this fabulous hostess. They proved it by giving at a record level this year.
