Dick and Sharon Stewart hosted a lovely launch party at his Marketplace Loft on Bay Street for donors as well as future sponsor candidates of  DragonBoat Beaufort. Kudos to founders Amy Kraft, Kyle Faucher, Mary Ann Thomas, Clare Taylor, Bernie Moscovitz and Kate Mcclintock. Wine and beer were generously provided by Doug Massalon of Bill’s Liquors, and the delicious food was provided by Bethany Hewitt of Southern Graces. Here are some pics for you.
