On March 8, 2008, MacDowell’s New Hampshire supporters gathered at the Shattuck Golf Club in Jaffrey for the Fifth Annual New Hampshire Benefit.  Enthralled guests listened to Chris Wilcha’s experiences as the filmmaker for the acclaimed television series This American Life.  The New Hampshire Benefit Committee, chaired by Sarah Garland-Hoch and Monica Lehner, organized the evening, which also included silent and live auctions.
