Our inaugural Linden Heritage Foundation Valentine's Gala was a grand success, built on the generosity of donors who contributed to the silent auction. The community's response was overwhelming, with incredible donations pouring in within a short three-week window.
During the evening, we honored four remarkable couples and individuals:
Tracy, who was named Best Dressed Single
Richard & Holly Bowden, who won Best Dressed Couple
Tony & Jeannette McDuffie, who received the Sweetest Love Story award
Honorable Mentions for thier sweet sweet Love stories and prizes for Dennis & Hattie Roberts
Joesph & Teri DeNatale
Marvin & Alliene Kelly, who have celebrated 69 years of marriage as the Longest Love Story winners.
We would also like to extend our appreciation to Velvet & Lead Band for their memorable performance.
