To The Editor:

What an amazing night at our benefit for The Newtown Parent Connection, Denim & Diamonds! Thank you to all who attended. The dance floor was full all night thanks to the incredible sounds of “Shot Down,” our entertainment, and fun line dancing instruction from Tricia Marino who had everyone up and moving.

A special highlight of the evening was honoring David Cooper of Dere Street with our Community Partner of the Year Award. His support and generosity over the years have made a lasting impact on our organization and the community we serve.

We would like to express our gratitude to our sponsors Dere Street Bakery, That’s Great News, Bulldog Enterprises, Illuminate, Lantana Recovery, and Liberation Programs.
