Network Against Domestic Abuse to Host 2nd Annual “Purple Event, An Evening of Chocolate”

Since 1985, The Network Against Domestic Abuse of North Central Connecticut has diligently worked to reduce the incidence of domestic violence and provide much needed assistance to adult victims and their children.  To support the many services that are provided free of charge, the agency will host a special “Purple Event, An Evening of Chocolate” on Friday evening, October 18, 2013 at the Holiday Inn in Enfield.  

Guests will enjoy a variety of wine and beer tastings provided by Joe’s Fine Wine & Spirits of East Windsor, a signature chocolate martini tasting, a wide array of hors d’oeuvres, carving and pasta stations and chocolate desserts.  Entertainment will be provided by Pair Extraordinaire, a light jazz duet.  Kara Wolters, American collegiate and professional basketball star, will serve as the evening's emcee and auctioneer.  In addition, a silent and called auction will be held. One lucky person will be going home with a ½ carat diamond donated by Morande Jewelers.

Committee members are hard at work planning a fun-filled event.  Among those serving on the committee are Chairperson Karen Tiroletto, Kathy Barron, Debbie Fiore, Debra Gish,  Mike Helechu,  Carissa Pape, Donna Jones-Searle, Jennifer Smith, Jamie Tower, Mary Tiroletto and Diane Wahl.
