It is often said that it “takes a village” to raise a child. The board of the South Country Education Foundation, knows it takes more.
As we wrap up our major fund raising effort of the year –-our annual cocktail party and auction – we recognize ‘the village’ needs to have at its core a community that values public education and the young minds nurtured in classrooms supported by taxpayers.
The South Country community demonstrated that core belief on August 14 when hundreds showed up at the Bellport home of Chantal and Richard Berman, hosts of the fundraiser for the past 18 years.
