Belden School Preservation Committee<br />

Is Thankful for a Summer Feast<br />

By LINDA NIESSNER<br />

GTF Board President<br />

Even though we are at winter’s<br />

threshold and getting ready for<br />

our annual Thanksgiving feast,<br />

the Belden Committee recalls<br />

a delightful end-of-summer<br />

fundraiser feast at Fried Green<br />

Tomatoes (FGT). Fred Bonnet,<br />

FGT owner, graciously donated<br />

a portion of the proceeds from<br />

his now famous Lobster Boil to<br />

the Belden School Preservation<br />

fund. <strong>The</strong> meal, ambiance and<br />

service were exquisite and everyone<br />

came away from the evening<br />

with a big smile.<br />

In addition to providing a great<br />

meal for the guests that filled<br />

the restaurant, Bonnet pulled<br />

the winning ticket for the raffle<br />

prize provided by Territorian<br />

Carol Ortega. Ortega designed,<br />

created and donated a beautiful<br />

round stained glass piece which<br />

<strong>Territory</strong> residents Marilyn and<br />

Irle Boehm were the happy<br />

winners of the stained glass art<br />

work created and donated by<br />

property owner Carol Ortega.<br />

Tomatoes owner Fred Bonnet as he pulls the winning raffle ticket<br />

for a stained glass piece at FGT during the Lobster Boil dinner.<br />

Bonnet donated a portion of each lobster dinner to Belden School’s<br />

preservation. Photos by Linda Niessner.<br />

was raffled off at the Lobster<br />

Boil. Ortega and her husband<br />

Zaty are long-time supporters of<br />

the Belden preservation efforts.<br />

<strong>Territory</strong> residents Marilyn and<br />

Irle Boehm were the winners<br />

of the decorative stained glass<br />

piece.<br />

Thank you to everyone who attended<br />

the dinner and thank you<br />

to those who purchased raffle<br />

tickets. Thank you also to the<br />

folks in the GTA Administrative<br />

Office for selling raffle tickets.<br />

Little Belden has many friends<br />

and the BSPC members are<br />

thankful for each and every<br />

one.<br />
