Warwick Foundation for Excellence in Learning raises $6,000 at Roaring Twenties-themed fund raiser

WARWICK — On April 14, the Warwick Foundation for Excellence in Learning (WFEL) hosted its second annual decade party at the Stagecoach Inn, 268 Main St. in Goshen.
This year’s theme was the Roaring Twenties and for the night guests were sent back in time to that decade. Guests arrived in their Gatsby finest and were treated to live jazz, appetizers, cheese and carving stations typical of that era. Guests were then treated to a champagne toast, courtesy of XDFour before continuing the party inside and dancing into the night.
