Our third annual Holiday Open House Fundraiser was held on November 12, 2015, at Tap House Grill in Palatine.

Attendees were able to do a little holiday shopping while enjoying tasty appetizers, yummy desserts, raffle prizes and silent auctions.

We would like to acknowledge our wonderful vendors who made this event possible: Premier Designs, Tastefully Simple, Windy Acres Crafts, Bright Lights Candles (Stevenson High School Transition Program microbusiness) and our very own CTC Creations. Each vendor donated a raffle prize and Connect to Community received a portion of their sales to benefit our programs and activities. We also received additional raffle prize and silent auction donations from Sherri Schneider and Lisa Maniola. Thank you to both!

Speaking of raffles and auctions, congratulations to our lucky winners: Mary Hanson (twice!), Nancy Hurst, Danielle James, Karen Klicki, Carol Sladek (twice!), Joanie Wexler and Alanna Zawlocki. We hope that you are enjoying your prizes.

Many thanks to everyone who attended the fundraiser, made an online purchase or sent a donation. Your support of Connect to Community is greatly appreciated! We also want to thank our fantastic volunteers, Marty Egan, Bob Hanson, Carol Sladek, John Tobias,  Alanna Zawlocki and Jillian Zawlocki, plus the young adult participants who helped things run smoothly that night, Karlee Darow, Victoria Doulas, Anna Feng, Brian Hall and Danielle James. You are all the greatest!
