The Harp Foundation's 3rd Annual 'Harps in the Garden'
By Myra Richman
On Sunday, November 2, 2008, 120 guests strolled through sensational gardens at sunset setting the tone for one of the most interesting and unusual events in the Valley.
Once again, Cille and Vern Swaback graciously hosted the Harp Foundation's annual event for a sensory experience of delicacies, fine wines and the healing language of the harp in their garden environment in Scottsdale.
Harpists were placed strategically in the garden, and their soothing sounds were especially calming on a weather-perfect Sunday. Renee Morgan Brooks sang to the crowd.
During a brief ceremony, Sherry and Bill Lund and Cille and Vern Swaback, special friends of the Harp Foundation, were thanked and honored for all they do.
Among the guests were Sherry and Bill Lund, Chandra Bonfiglio, Marge Ebeling (of WellCare Foundation), Trish McCarty, Mary Jane McClain and Randy Pullen.
