Arundel Historical Society grateful for gala help

Editor,

The Arundel Historical Society recently held an event on July 11 called “Cars and Cocktails” at Bentley’s Auto Museum in Arundel. It was a benefit for the Society, with great food, good drink, and entertainment, along with a silent and live auction. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those would made this gala happen.

Without the energy and hard work of Linda Zuke of Weirs Motors this event would never have happened. She was committed to seeing that it was successful and it was because of her dedication and perseverance successful it was. We are appreciative of Bentley Warren hosting the event and donating the venue. He helped us set up the event and unknown to many, has been supportive of our bean suppers throughout the years. He is truly a community partner and for this we are grateful.

We had help from many business sponsors in the community among them being: Arundel Ford, Weirs Buick GMC,Kennebunk Savings Bank,Red Apple Campground,Bradbury Brothers Market, Batson River Brewing and Distilling, Cape Arundel Cottage Preserve, Carl R. Perkins Paving, Champion Auto Body, Kasprzak Insurance, P&C Insurance, Superior Pest Services, Thomas and Lord, and Zuke Roofing. Thanks to you all.

The delicious food for the event was prepared by German Lucarelli of The Lost Fire, David Angenend of Texas Grace, and longtime supporters of the AHS, The Lobster Company, who supplied a beautiful raw bar.

Our musical entertainment was provided by the Doublecross Duo who did an exceptional job. Our auctioneer, Jo O’Connor, made sure the price was right in our live auction. Many area businesses and private donors gave to our silent auction . We are grateful for their donations.

And last but not least ,thanks to our friends and neighbors who volunteered their time and talent to make this event a success.

As always we would like to remind everyone when doing their shopping try to keep it local and support our businesses. These businesses are the economic fabric of our community and are what makes our part of Maine a great place to live.
