The FDR dinner was a great success thanks to a number of wonderful volunteers.  We appreciate their dedication and service!

The Chairman of the event was Lynn Minasi who was recognized for not only this event but her work throughout the year for the democratic party.  There is Lynn below dressed as Jackie Kennedy!

Doug Smith, Virgil Olsen, and Dutch Bollinger took care of the Century Club table and that club is so important to our success that we can’t thank their efforts enough.

Donna Murphy with a whole lot of help organized the auction items and that was a great success.

We had items that were bid on using a silent auction mode and live auction items.  Here is a picture of Buffie McFadyen doing some auctioning!  Buffie is wonderful and adds so much to any event and we look forward to when she comes to town!
