CLASP Thanks Taste of Westport Participants

From CLASP Homes of Westport: CLASP Homes of Westport thanks all who enjoyed the 13th annual Taste of Westport. The evening was a tremendous success itself, and our guests’ generosity will help support CLASP’s mission.

CLASP is a 35 old non-profit agency providing homes and opportunities for people with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Thanking everyone who participated individually is impossible in this space. But among those we can are, first and foremost, the restauranteurs and the other food and drink purveyors who took time from their own businesses to donate to CLASP and to Westport.

We thank our numerous sponsors for underwriting Taste, the local businesses, many of whom have donated since the beginning, for their contributions, and The Westport Inn particularly, for, again, acting as our gracious host,

Thank you to Rick Lewis and Green Eyed Lady, “Fairfield County’s Best Cover Band.” Your music made the evening livelier and more enjoyable.

And thanks to Miggs Burroughs, a long time CLASP supporter, who once again created our stylish program. The same to Baker Graphics for their important contribution.

Thank you, Lourdes Cummings, Aurea de Sousa, John Rima and the myriad of volunteers, many who joined us again, to do the big and the little things that made Taste a success — working with sponsors, obtaining auction items, and decorating — to making sure everything looked beautiful and ran without a hitch.

And thank you to the volunteers — from Staples and the CLASP staff — who performed the numerous tasks that kept things on track all evening.

And to our guests, you, also deserve a thank you for helping us. We hope Taste helped you discover a new place or two to dine.
