A Gouda Evening

Capuchin Retreat’s Annual Summer Fundraiser

About

A Gouda Evening is an annual summer fundraiser that began in June 2022 to help support and maintain our beautiful retreat center that serves as a place of spirituality and rejuvenation in the faith of hundreds each year. Our event features an outdoor picnic with a wine and cheese theme. Live, strolling accordion music is provided by Joe Recchia and Mike Zawojski from the Michigan Accordion Society, and Naim Edwards playing the saxophone. Other event features included guided tours of the property and facilities, live raffle drawings, a silent auction, and dinner.
