Third Annual Wassail Party was a success
The Third Annual Wassail Party was fabulous!
Several hundred students and employees came by the tables for treats and talks. It was so much fun to watch the students enjoy a much-needed break from learning and studying. Many of them asked us to pass along their gratitude for such a wonderful event.
Personally, I was incredibly blessed to watch our community rise up together to provide the treats and hospitality this year. It honestly was a miracle to see how the goodies and snacks multiply like “Loaves and Fishes.†We had so many goodies left over that we’re still snacking on them in the employee lounge.
Thank you to each one who generously gave to support the party. Special thanks to the Portland Center Library for ordering and paying for the wassail.
On behalf of the Portland Center community, “Thank You†to the many people who hosted the event during the day:

Thank you goes to each of you who made, bought or shared in the bringing of the food. You made the day!
