On June 25'th, NOAH, East Boston residents, and guests 'uncovered' the hidden treasures of East Boston at the Hyatt Harborside. Everyone learned about the neighborhood's outstanding restaurants, its history and culture, and its geography, all while taking in breathtaking views of the Boston harborfront. Presentations were given by some of NOAH's clientele, including children from the O'Donnell Schoolyard Summer Program and the Foreclosure Prevention and Mitigation Program. Mid-evening, the audience was treated to a regatta of sailboats, courtesy of the Piers Park Sailing Center, which was one of the Secrets listed. The two generous corporate sponsors were Citizens Bank and the Beal Companies LLP.
