This year's annual our fundraising Lunch and Laugh Ladies Luncheon to benefit William Annin Middle School was held at Dolce in early April, and attracted more than 250 women and also raised more than $24,000.

This year's luncheon had more vendors, silent auction items and the luncheon's  Signature Lollipop prizes then ever before, according to the luncheon committee.

The committee of 20 women raised over $24,000, with a tremendous outpouring of support from the community, including businesses and attendees.

Thanks to the generous donations and bidding, the WAMS Parent-Teacher Organization can fulfill its wish list for the middle school programs, according to co-chair Allyson Hughes.
