7TH ANNUAL IL CAPRICCIO DINNER A HUGE SUCCESS

Jack and Marci Williams present the Friend of Wednesday's Child award to Richie Barron and Jeannie Rogers, owners of Il Capriccio of Waltham. They have hosted the annual Wednesday's Child dinner since 2000, providing the food and drinks at their cost.
 

Seventy friends of Wednesday's Child packed into top rated restaurant IL Capriccio in Waltham for a $500 a plate dinner, featuring a customized menu by Chef Rich Barron and select wines that complimented the dining by Sommelier Jeannie Rogers. The reviews were all enthusiastic. A number of supporters, who couldn't come to the dinner, sent in money anyway. Also, several anonymous donors gave grants of $15,000, others $5,000. With a grant of $50,000 promised by Bank of America, the event will bring in over $120,000 to help find homes for special needs children.

Three of our friends and their wives again spearheaded the event and paid for the food and drink. Special thanks to Joe Dempsey, Rick Curtin and John Collins.
