Valentine's Day cards, created by four of Rockport Elementary School Art Teacher Simon Paddock's classes, were given to each participant. Two Rockport High School instrumentalists, Clara Mazo on the violin, and Jace Mason on the cello, played to an appreciative audience.
Twenty-Five Rotary club members helped with setting up, serving and cleaning after the event. They also provided transportation to and from the luncheon for those guests that were not able to drive and have no one to drive them. One participant wrote, "Everyone treated us royally.
