MUSIC from the GARDEN





Over 60 guests joined the board, staff and players of the Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra for a musical afternoon in the lovely gardens of Cindy and Tony Passannante, of Damascus.


Members of the Portland Brass Quintet entertained the crowd while they enjoyed food and ale.


Board Member Ben Kleene wacks the ball through the wicket in croquet.



Concertmaster Dawn Carter and her daughter Katie try their hand and skills with Bocce Ball.



And guests supported the orchestra with their generous bidding in the auctions (wonder if this winner got the winning lottery ticket???).



Dr. John Sygielski (Ski), Mt Hood Community College President, was our auctioneer. He demonstrates the need for the pink purse in the foto below (which by the way, had the $100 in it---congratulations Joan!)
