Member's Appreciation Night 2007
Every year the club honours the commitment and dedication of our volunteers, no matter how big or small their contribution.    Our president and friend Mary Renvall handles this occasion with her usual panache, and for everything she has done for us - we thank her!

Special thanks to this year's caterer, Shawnee Jones (and her team) - the food was amazing as usual!    And to Bev and Cory Pride for the beautiful decoration job - the theatre was absolutely gorgeous, as photos below will attest.    And finally, much gratitude to the secret panel for their careful consideration!

Congratulations to this year's award winners, and to all our volunteers - thanks so much for making 2007 everything we hoped it would be, and more!
