Powell Gardens – 2023 Under A Harvest Moon

This year’s Under A Harvest Moon, a benefit for Powell Gardens, was a special one. Chairman Susan Ambler Spencer created a delightful evening where two special people were honored: Courtney Risner Earnest was posthumously recognized as the honorary chairman; and volunteer Bruce Monke was given the inaugural Courtney Risner Earnest Volunteer Service Award. With a beautiful evening, the delicious dinner, silent auction, and signature cocktails were a huge success.
