We are pleased to share these photos from our Bishop’s House Gala in Williamstown on April 16th, 2016. If you were not amongst our 160 guests that evening, Inez Franklin’s April 27th Glengarry News article perfectly captures the event.

With some of the profits from the dinner, we were able to have landscapers remove invasive trees and overgrown shrubs on the property that almost hid the House. One supporter noted when she first saw the results that “the building can now breathe again.”
Pictures will follow…
Good and interesting congrats to all and especially Brenda Baxter
