A piece from the auction by local artist Dan Rizzie
The Main Auction will be held on June 28 at Estia’s Little Kitchen Garden Party. It will be an evening of fine food, local wines & brews, and live music—a gathering of international & local artists for an auction of priceless works.
All proceeds go to support the Eileen Roaman Greenhouse at Springs Seedlings and Project MOST after school programs; which provide children with a range of after-school academic support & enrichment activities, including learning about growing & eating healthy.
Tickets to the event are $150 and can be purchased online at Projectmost.com. We ask that you buy them soon as they are limited.

Participating local Artist Dan Rizzie
Dan Rizzie is one of the 44 participating artists who have donated a piece of art for auction. He is also one of the many who looks back fondly on his memories of Eileen Roaman.
“Eileen was one of the first people I met 20 plus years ago, when I first moved to the area. She was a supporter of my art since we first met. And a real philanthropist. Anyone who knew her knew that whatever she did, she would always back it up with substance.
My feelings about this event are truly heartfelt. So when April Gornik called to invite me to participate—together with Colin hosting, who always has his heart in things—I felt this was appropriate. I am terrifically honored to be a part of Eileen’s legacy.”
