A cloudy day turned sunny recently as members of Mathews Main Street’s Riverball VII committee conferred with Diana and Butler Burton (second and third from left), owners of Eastham, where the gala will take place on June 9. Planning includes determining where guests will be seated to enjoy not only the food and entertainment that is part of the biannual event but also the ambience of the estate on the East River. Shown with the owners, from left, are Judy Busby, Sylvia Woodcock, Norma Thomas and Nancy Powell. Proceeds from Riverball will be used to support ongoing planning for preserving and enhancing Mathews Main Street and ensuring the economic viability of the downtown business area. For an invitation to Riverball VII, call 725-5747.
