Jamie Arkins, Clinton Edminster, Whitney Shephard build goodwill and better friendships behind the bar. 

 

UPDATE: We raised approximately $4,000 for Loop It Up! Thanks to all who brought chili. And congrats to Liza Smith for most money raised and to Daniel Weiner for the People's Choice Award. 

 

The beer was cold, the oysters were salty and the setting was amazing. Thanks to all who helped make this year's Roastary a rousing success! 

Committee members: Ariana Berkstiner (chair extraordinaire), Kelley Boyd (chili), Whitney Shephard and Jamie Arkins (booze), Justin Hummell (music) and Florence Slatinsky (oysters), Katie Joyner (set up, details everyone else forgot). And of course huge shout out to Marc and Kate Bailey for hosting and to Molly Lieberman who rallied her tribe and is a fantastic party planner. It was the kind of Metro mingle we're know for - one that brings people together who might not normally meet and helps strengthen our community while consuming LOTS OF BEER.
