On Thursday, August 26, 2004, the ASCEND Foundation hosted a dinner at CIRCA 1886, located on the grounds of the historic Wentworth Mansion. The evening was filled with wonderful food, wine and lively conversation. Chef Marc Collins created a delicious array of gourmet courses that were perfectly paired with lovely wines. The evening afforded us the opportunity to introduce ASCEND to new friends and reconnect with old ones, including certain Federal and State Legislators. ASCEND would like to especially thank Linn Lesesne and Rick Widman for hosting this wonderful event at their restaurant. The evening was a great success!
