Elie Wiesel

The CHM & C event at the Colonial Theater was extremely

important to Dawn and Dennis for reasons beyond the obvious

honor of Dennis being made a partner

at Cain Hibbard Myers and Cook (CHM&C)

CuisinEtc and Apogee worked together to put together

a customized menu and highly detailed design scheme

that would be appropriate for the high end clients that the law firm

was inviting as well as for the historic venue,

the lovely Colonial Theatre in Pittsfeld Mass.
