Alain Simon provided stunning floral arrangements. Guests enjoyed elegant and tasty hors d’oeuvres catered by Jill Hannaford of Market Squares and also copious quantities of Dunn’s Famous smoked meat.  A fabulous array of goods and services was on offer in a silent auction, including framed autographed prints of Aislin cartoons. Terry Mosher was among the 250+ guests who turned out for a fun party in support of the Library.
