The Annual Meeting 2009 was a HUGE success despite the LOW temps outside!
The Annual Meeting, which included a wonderful social time, an excellent buffet of food, and the always favorite Lucky Buck Auction, was held this year at Bello Cucina.
It was a warm evening inside but temperatures outside plummeted to 27 below!

Social Event Dinner
Sweet Lily’s, Morris Floral, and Keepers Floral donated the centerpieces seen here and event attendees signed up to win them. They were Lovely!
Dinner was buffet style with an excellent put together array by Jason and Kandra and all the Bello staff!
The Lucky Buck Auction was the MOST successful yet! Thanks to all area businesses for your donations, time, and efforts!
