Imani Gala - 9/11/10

More than 400 guests gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Meakem to raise funds for the Imani Christian Academy. The Academy’s mission is “to embrace all children, transform them to whole adults, and release them into lives of purpose and contribution.” The $700,000 raised through a silent auction and corporate sponsorships will aid the Imani Christian Academy with its operating costs and finance the new Funda project, which will provide temporary boarding rooms for children dealing with stressful home lives. Guests sampled fare presented by Bob Sendall of All in Good Taste Productions, and sipped wine from Junius Lindsay Vineyard. “It was a lovely, elegant event, held on a wonderful evening, that celebrates kids,” says co-chair Fran Fetterolf.
