Bloom

Dear Friends of Kids First Center,

We’re delighted to announce plans for our annual Bloom Gala, which will take place this year on Friday, November 15, 2019.

We’ve got a fabulous evening planned for you at Grace in downtown Portland. Our catering sponsor is Eventides’s Big Tree Catering. Their amazing, inventive food will be coupled with a surprise signature cocktail and craft beer from premier local purveyors. We’ll also have a fun-filled live auction, and a great mix of dance music from the Portland based band, Tickle, which is in high demand throughout New England.

So please save the date on your calendar and plan to join us. Thanks in advance for your continued (or new!) commitment to our in-demand programming for Maine families facing separation or divorce. With your help, we were able to support and educate 3,500 children and parents throughout Maine in 2018.

We look forward to seeing you on November 15 and to following up with you in the next few weeks about how to purchase your tickets to what promises again to be an exciting and enjoyable event.

Best regards,

Matthew Thornton
Board Member
Chair, Bloom Gala Committee
