The DEF will supply printer-friendly invitations and will thank your guests for their tax-deductible contribution. No event is too small and all are appreciated! It's not too late to host your own event!

We would like to extend a special thanks to all who participated in these fun fundraisers in 2008, particularly the hosts who opened their homes!  As a result of their efforts, over 200 residents participated and made generous contributions to the DEF.  These contributions have funded grants in the Duxbury Public Schools for many innovative educational programs benefiting students now and for years to come. 

We would also like to applaud our hosts for their creative entertaining ideas- guests gathered at luncheons, brunches, a girl’s night out-complete with manicures and fortune telling, a neighborhood progressive dinner, Saint Patty’s Day party and even a 70’s costume party. 


DEF Board members Cattina Giumetti, Jennifer Fallon and Laurie Gallagher meet to finalize plans for the 2008 Dinners for Duxbury. 

Stay tuned for the  2009 Dinners for Duxbury date.
