Thank you to all of the generous business sponsors, advertisers,
individual donors, silent auction, raffle donors, attendees and all the bidders who supported the 2019 Starry Night Dinner Dance, our most important annual fundraiser.
All event proceeds benefited Temple Emanu-El's Essential Services
Fund. Temple Emanu-El has been an integral part of the
Eastern Connecticut community for over 50 years. Your support
enables us to continue to fulfill our mission to build a vibrant
community, within and beyond our walls.
