The Eagle Mountain Carriage House was packed last Saturday with Kismet supporters who shared in great food, spirited company, and an entertaining mix of music by the Kismet Rock Stars.

Several Kismet students and Vicki Varrichione, a Bartlett/Jackson guidance counselor and family support liaison, gave moving testimonials of their experiences with the organization.

New this year, and very popular with guests, was a silent auction. Forty items and packages–including artwork, weekend getaways, outdoor gear, signed books, and more– brought $3,400 in donations to Kismet’s educational programming.

Thank you to all who attended! As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions on how to make the event even more enjoyable. Look for a full report on the event in the upcoming Summer Newsletter. Make sure you receive the newsletter by joining our mailing list.
