Message from Board of
Directors President,
Greg Abel
I join the GWArc Board of Directors in welcoming you to GWArc’s 43rd Annual Harvest Breakfast. As you
can see from looking around this morning, it is another sold-out year with many GWArc participants,
families and guardians and members of the community present for this signature event.
We are particularly pleased to thank Embassy Suites for their continued hospitality to the agency – this
is GWArc’s 13th elegant and delicious year here. Embassy Suites’ commitment to GWArc really
illustrates the loyalty to GWArc and our mission. This is true also of all the donors to the event, from
sponsors to ad book participants to businesses who have given gifts for Mystery Bag sales and auctions
today. Thanks to you all for keeping GWArc visible as an important part of the greater
Waltham community.
Enjoy your breakfast and the entertainment and the purchases available for you today.
Best wishes for a festive fall season and a good year ahead.
Regards,
Greg Abel
President
GWArc Board of Directors
