Aurora Borealis 2009 RECAP


Event co-chairs pose for the camera as guests arrive.

On May 4, 2009, 150 patrons celebrated the nautical-themed Aurora Borealis at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant.

The Coverlettes – founded by Aurora’s own Artistic Director, Tom Ross – sang doo-wop songs while guests wined and dined.

The evening closed on a high point as guests stepped up to match a $25,000 challenge grant donated by the Alafi Family Foundation.

 

David and Kathleen stand for a special toast.

This year, Aurora honored Kathleen Garrison & David Wood for their long-time support of the theatre.

 

Aurora Borealis supports the productions you see on the Aurora stage all season long.
