Sandra Freeman of Divine Chocolate displays her offerings at the Chocolate Lover's Fling
We had a delightful day at the SARSSM Chocolate Lover’s Fling!
For those not familiar with Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine (SARSSM) – formerly Rape Crisis Center, Inc. they began advocating for victims of sexual assault in 1973 and over the years been able to offer many levels of support. The Annual Chocolate Lover’s Fling is their most significant fundraiser. They have a trained staff as well as many volunteers who provide a 24 hour crises and support line. You can visit their website here …http://www.sarsonline.org/
We were very proud to be a part of this fundraiser. Spending a Sunday afternoon with so many other exceptional chocolatiers, chocoholics and people interested in a really great and necessary cause enhanced our appreciation for community.
