Great Dinner

[lrayner]

Congratulations, and thank you, to all the volunteers who put together the 50th Anniversary Dinner at the Hotel Del. What a great night! My wife even won a new Boxster, which was a nice surprise at the end of the evening. I also liked the display of awards from years past. My favorite was the first Enthusiast of the Year Award, given to John Straub, which prominently featured a spark plug secured to the middle of the plaque.

Thanks, things like awards were pretty simple back in 1974.

And yes, a big "thank you" to all the effort put in by many people.

It was a nice evening. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen. The food, auction, memorabilia and the celebration were great. We stayed until the band's last song. I got to dance a little too - bum foot and all.

Great group of people and lots of significant history!

Really enjoyed the way SDR honors our folks ...

and the food was pretty darn wonderful, too!!!

It was indeed a wonderful evening. However, due to a communication snafu and the desire to get you all onto the dance floor, the traditional presentation of a gift to the outgoing President did not occur at the dinner. We look forward to celebrating the presentation of this gift at the next board meeting.
