"Largest crowd ever" attends Best of Beach art auction
Funds to benefit Beebe Medical
Foundation, Rehoboth Art League
By Dennis Forney
Over 420 people - the largest
crowd ever - attended the Eighth
Annual Best of the Beach Art
Auction at Beebe Medical Center
on Saturday, June 14.
"'This year's event was extreme-
ly successful," said Beebe Med-
ical Foundation Executive Direc-
tor Marcia Marvel. "All the fig-
ures aren't in yet, but last year we
netted over $30,000, and I know
we did better than that this year."
The proceeds of the event go
each year to assist the efforts of
Beebe Medical Foundation - the
fund-raising arm of Beebe Med-
ical Center - and Rehoboth Art
League. Marvel, who also serves
as president of Rehoboth Art
League, said the extra funds that
go to each organization are very
important for the operations of
each.
Nancy O'Brien, executive di-
rector of Rehoboth Art League,
sounded just as ecstatic about the
event. "Personally I thought it
was a spectacular event," said
O'Brien. "It was lots of fun and I
was pleased by the incredible
turnout and so much positive feel-
ing in the room."
This year's event included a
number of changes brought about
by Christine Strauss who served
as events chairperson. One of the
most noticeable changes was the
addition of the Royal Palm Steel
Drum Band whose musicians
added an island feel to the
evening's festivities.
