Thank you to our Fundraising contributors
2004 opened with a flurry of fundraising activity for PAE.  Both Lauren Unbekant’s performances of ”Tales from the ‘Hood” in January and the HeARTbeat Dance Party at the Landmark on Valentine’s Day were marvelous opportunities for PAE to reach out to the larger CNY community, and to give our supporters wonderful evenings of entertainment.  There are so many people who helped us make these events successful.  At the risk of having the orchestra drown us out after 45 seconds, we’d like to thank:  WAER FM 88, LeMoyne College, the Landmark Theatre, Isabel & Company Day Spa, Licari Deli and Catering, SYSCO Food Services, Price Chopper, Syracuse Tents & Events, Petals, Paws & Betticoats, All Sea-Sons Seamless Gutters, Dave Kobernuss, the many, many individual volunteers who cheerfully offered us their time and enthusiasm, and everyone who attended these events.
