NOTES:


THANKS to the efforts and participation of our Garden Club membership, the St. Patrick's Day Dinner and Silent Auction was enjoyed by all. Many of our 65 merry revelers helped bid the auction items up for a nice evening's sum of $2,250.

The clubhouse looked great thanks to the decor and set up efforts of Clorinda Aldrich, Ellie Barry, Donna Earhart, Eva Monroe, Dottie's niece (Eileen), daughter (Colleen) and husband Dan. Eileen and Colleen also worked the kitchen and were helped with the cleanup by Katie and John Balestreri, Trish Hurt, Donna and Jim Earhart, Sima Talai, Darlene Hartman, Dan and Eva. Special thanks to Guerra's for catering for us again and to Sima for the great appetizers.

Many thanks to Walt Farrell and Will Connolly for their wonderful a cappella rendition of so many Irish tunes. Thanks so much to Yen Bachmeier who so expertly engineered the music for us. It would not have been as festive without them!

The silent auction was a big success thanks to our donors: Clorinda and David Aldrich, Katie and John Balestreri, Eleanor and Dan Barry, Anna and Mike Bolechowski, Kit Dickson, Helen Dorwin, Donna and Jim Earhart, Dominique Fleming, Kim Glencher, John Guerra, Nancy Hagosian, Darlene Hartman, Sally and Phil Kipper, Dottie McHugh, Eva and Mike Monroe, Phyllis O'Leary, Carol Reidy, Sima and Mike Talai, and Cathy Viehweg.

We had a great time working together to produce a wonderful event - THANK YOU everyone, you are the best!

  - Dottie McHugh and Eva Monroe
