Founders Day 2009
Generously Underwritten by 
Thank you to everyone who came out in support of WITS and all our tremendous volunteers. We were delighted to see a full house at the Cultural Center to celebrate the amazing work of all our friends and volunteers. On behalf of everyone at WITS, we would like to give a special thanks to our honorees, Donna LaPietra, Charlie Trotter, and Marion Stone for making the night such a success! The evening would not have been possible without the generous underwriting from Charter One.
