Event raises enough funds to help GACCA and ACCVAF award four scholarships
Atlantic City, NJ, February 16, 2010 -- The Greater Atlantic City Concierge Association (GACCA) and the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority Foundation (ACCVAF) teamed up to host a charity wine tasting/art show at the Carisbrooke Inn Bed & Breakfast in Ventnor, NJ. The first annual fund raising event was held to help award hospitality scholarships to students majoring in hospitality at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey or Atlantic Cape Community College.
The event exceeded all expectations. Initially the plan was to award two scholarships, but thanks to the overwhelming response to the event – four scholarships will now be awarded. The four scholarships will be presented at the Atlantic City Hosts Awards on May 12, 2010 at Historic Boardwalk Hall in the Adrian Phillips Ballroom.
The charity event attracted over 80 people who enjoyed the atmosphere of the Carisbrooke Inn as well as the artwork, wine and food.
Six local artists were on hand to show their artwork ranging from pottery to serene beach scenes and abstract to sublime. Participating artists were: Chris Ford, Steve Kuzma, William McKensie, Marie Natale, Sue Van Duyne and Michael Waters.
GACCA and ACCVAF would also like to thank the following sponsors for their contributions: Donna Albano, Craig Puchalsky, DDS, Donna Vassallo, B.F. Mazzeo Fruit & Produce, Carisbrooke Inn Bed & Breakfast, Ovations Food Service and Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino.
