This evening will include an amazing meal sponsored by Grand Cuisine, drinks, sharing of awards for our own SEEC teachers, and an award for excellence in early childhood to be given to a community member.  Dr. Kathryn Sullivan--Scientist, Astronaut and Explorer-- will serve as the Honorary Chair of the event.
