On Thursday, April 20, 30+ people gathered to help me
raise funds for the Dr. Stephen W. Hoag writing Competi-
tion that is being sponsored by North Haven magazine and
will kick off this fall. I’ve written about Dr. Hoag before.
He writes beautiful love stories and is always encouraging
young adults to write. I’m privileged to know him and call Steven from CT Chowder Fabi from Le Jardin

boarded and tasted the best
margueritas ever, you visited
the six golf cove private golfing
rooms which were turned into

and the best food ever.

I thank everyone that showed up
and I hope everyone had a great
time. If anyone is interested in
