On the evening of Wednesday, June 3rd, the clouds parted and the sun appeared just in time for Wells Bring Hope’s First Annual Donor Appreciation Event. About fifty of Wells Bring Hope’s most enthusiastic supporters braved rush hour traffic to join us for dinner in Culver City. Ed Keebler, WBH’s newest board member, and his partner, Anne Dalton, generously hosted the evening at their fabulous restaurant – Bucato.

It was a time for mingling on the outdoor patio over wine, meeting other WBH committed donors and volunteers who shared the same appreciation for our work.

Guests enjoyed a four-course feast that began with home baked bread and olives that some of us couldn’t stop eating! Dinner also included two scrumptious pastas that Bucato makes in house and juicy Jidori chicken with kale.
A short video was shown based on a recent WBH team trip to Niger, revealing the enormous success of our economic development program for women. On a sad note, Founder, Barbara Goldberg revealed that the cycle of drought and famine is now almost a yearly occurrence, resulting in a more urgent need for clean water. To address this, WBH has set an ambitious goal of drilling 250 wells in the next three years.The evening ended with the presentation of a $5,000 grant from the Million Dollar Round Table by Linda and Judd Swarzman. Thank you to all of our generous supporters and Nichole Carlson, our marvelous Director of Special Events, for making the evening such a success!
