What an extraordinary evening.

Dear Friends,

What an extraordinary evening. From perfect summer weather to welcoming our largest gathering yet in Lincoln Hall, every moment reflected the momentum and promise of Hildene. Sharing our vision for the next decade and hearing Doris Kearns Goodwin remind us of the enduring importance of America's story made it a night I will long remember. Thank you for being part of it.

With deep appreciation,
Craig Gemmell

Thank you all so much for being a part of Hildene!

The Legacy Gala was so much more than a beautiful evening—it was a powerful reminder of what is possible when people come together in support of a shared purpose. We are deeply grateful to Doris Kearns Goodwin and Michael Goodwin for making the evening so memorable, and to the extraordinary community of donors whose generosity raised more than $380,000 to advance Hildene's mission. My heart is full. Thank you all so much for being a part of Hildene!

All my best,
Nan
