PORTSMOUTH David Rosenberg has put on literally thousands of events for people over the past decades, like the Newport Winter Festival, but Saturday was a time when his friends wanted to put on a little event for him.
They hired a master ice carver to create a champagne-related sculpture on his front yard as a toast to him from the Aquidneck Island community.
Rosenberg recently was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer, and has been undergoing radiation treatments at Dana Farber Institute in Boston and chemotherapy and other infusions at Newport Hospital.
Rosenberg is taking this on full tilt, like he does with so much else in his life.

A basketball player for the Glasgow Rocks has told BBC Scotland he and two team-mates were forced from their home in the city due to racial harassment.
Julius van Sauers, from the Netherlands, moved to Scotland after signing with the club last September.
He and French players Marc Kwedi and David Mpondo had to move flats after their car was attacked and racist language used in complaints about them.
The incidents were reported to police but no arrests have been made.
Van Sauers told BBC Scotland he was disgusted and very upset when the incidents occurred in October last year.
