A NOTE FROM PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE CHAIR KAREN FOSTER

I want to express my appreciation to all the people who helped make the
wine dinner a success. Thanks to all who purchased tickets, sold tickets,
and told others about the dinner. We had 141 guests last night. A big
thanks to everyone who worked at the dinner, especially Andy Hrasky, our
auctioneer, and Diane Forristall, who collected the money from the auction,
and all our registrars and wine tasting hosts. Everything ran smoothly and
I think we all had a good time.

Thanks to our wineries for pouring their wines, speaking at the dinner and
for giving us discounts and donations. Thanks to all our members who
provided donations, especially Richard Black, who donated a print valued at
$400. Thanks also to our other speakers.

A special thanks to my committee members, Amy Faust, James Rost, and Rick
Foster who helped plan the dinner, obtained donations, created written
documents, and for all the work that goes behind putting together a large
dinner party. Thanks to the folks who helped pair the wine with the
courses and thanks to Scott Rogers for checking out the licensing
requirements. Also, a big thanks to Eli, our adopted committee member, for
helping with wine selection and purchasing, and many other tasks.

One more huge thanks to our RC&D staff who continually support our
organization in so many ways, and especially to Kathy Kahue, in particular,
for managing all the dinner reservations and funds and for organizing all
the tickets for the wine dinner.

Next time you see these people, please let them know you appreciate their
hard work and dedication. And if you helped in any way, go ahead and pat
yourself on the back!

Thanks again,
Karen Foster
PR Chairman

ANOTHER THANK YOU!
Roberta and I would also like to extend our thanks to all those who worked so hard on the wine dinner. It was a very nice evening.
