Story By Story:
Sharing the Human Experience
2008 Benefit Performance

In September 2008, Joe Doolittle and Kate Dudding started hosting a weekly TV program about storytelling. This series features stories and storytellers from the region as well as upcoming events.

As a first step in this new collaboration, a benefit for both Story Circle at Proctors and SACC-TV was held at the end of May 2008: Wine & Chocolate: Stories of Decadence and Mirth.

Over 50 attendees enjoyed sampling estate wines from Frontenac Point Vineyard and Winery of Trumansburg, NY and indulging in assorted cheeses and chocolate covered fruit.

Best of all, attendees heard stories of mirth and chocolate and decadence from Joe Doolittle, Kate Dudding, Marni Gillard and Jeannine Laverty of Story Circle at Proctors.

Over $700 was raised for Story by Story. Many thanks to those who made this benefit possible:

  • Todd Wilson, Station Manager, SACC-TV
  • All the Board Members of SACC-TV
  • Our Storytellers
  • Jim, Carol and Larry Doolittle of Frontenac Point Vineyard and Winery
  • Gay Doolittle of Woodhaven Designs
  • Joseph J. Suhrada of Uncle Sam's Candy
