Dinner on the Beach

A Fundraiser for Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center Thursday, July 21, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Imagine sitting down to festive luau-inspired dinner, surrounded by rich, vibrant blooms. You gaze out at a gorgeous view of Long Island Sound as the gentle sound of waves and Island music serenade you. This experience can be yours on Thursday, July 21, at Dinner on the Beach hosted by Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center in Madison, Connecticut.

The tented dinner is a benefit for the Center, whose day-long and weekend programs, events, and retreats of varying lengths offer a refuge in this time of constant digital chatter and over-booked schedules. The Center’s location–on 33 acres along Long Island Sound–is a peaceful sanctuary where individuals can re-connect with themselves, others and the sacred.

The dinner will run from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and costs $125 per person. Casual attire and beach appropriate footwear are recommended.
