Beat the Winter Blues Bash a Smashing Success! 

Saturday, March 2, 2013

Point Lookout, Northport, ME

The night started off cold and damp with snow falling lightly, yet inside at Point Lookout fires blazed in the fireplaces and the warmth the 125 plus people in attendance dancing, eating and having fun was a great antidote to the winter blues! The evening started off with scrumptious samplings including sides of poached salmon, spanikopita, vegetarian biryani rice, eggplant caponata, hot curry chickpea soup, delicious desserts and more!

After people had a chance to satisfy their appetites, then the fabulous blues music from the Juke Rockets began and dance goers kicked up their heals and worked off the calories from the great food! The dance floor was jumpin’ and everyone had a great time! 

We want to thank our sponsors who made the event possible, from Bangor Savings Bank, our top sponsor, to Cold Cold Mountain Builders and Viking Lumber and Building Supplies, our next highest level sponsors. We also want to thank the restaurants and food purveyors who brought such a variety and abundance of delicious food from the Atlantic Baking Company, Belfast Coop, Bell the Cat, Cafe Miranda, Fresh Restaurant and Bakery, Green Bean Catering, In Good Company and 3 Dog Cafe. There were also 3 lucky winners for one of three gift certificates that were raffled off from Francine's Restaurant, Megunticook Market and Darby's Restaurant.

And last but not least a great big shout out and thank you to everyone who attended and to our volunteers, staff and board for making this event a great success and a lot of fun! We had so much fun, we want to do this again next year, so if you missed it, we hope you won't miss next year's event, which promises to be even more fabulous!

Several RJP staff traveled to Concord, MA in early June for a day of Restorative Justice learning and networking, co-sponsored by Communities for Restorative Justice, several local churches and the MACUCC Restorative Justice Task Team.
