| RABA Holiday Party Update |
The RABA Annual Holiday Party, which was held at Bridge Street Cafe on Tuesday, December 7th, was a fun and festive event. Marvin Carpenter and his staff put on a wonderful spread again this year, complete with a crepes station and an amazing pasta station, where chefs cooked to order from requests from their guests.Denise Barnard again organized the event and the door prizes, which were donated by attending members. Many thanks to Denise and her team of greeters (Mary Claire Carroll, Amy Klinger, Sherry Daniels and Marie Thomas) for helping at the door to meet and greet. Thomas Hark, president of RABA, welcomed the group with some words about RABA and Sherry Daniels and Jody Cole thanked the group for their support of the Holiday Market and Silent Auction (held the Saturday before). There were about 120 people at the party which has become an event which is looked forward to and enjoyed by all. Audrey Linn of Land of Odds, Richmond, was the winner of the RABA drawing for an adult seasons pass at Bolton Valley. This pass was donated by Bolton for the 2010-2011 season and was offered as part of RABA's membership renewal campaign - any business/person that had renewed by the Holiday Party on Dec. 7, was entered into the drawing to win the pass. Congratulations to Audrey and thank you to Bolton for the prize! |
