Wow, What a Good Time! Many thanks to all of those who helped out with the Second Annual DPPA Spaghetti Dinner Extravaganza! on April 19. It was a whopping success. (Sally: Can you highlight the next sentence in some way?) Special thanks goes out to those individuals and businesses who donated the many lovely items and services to the silent auction. And no mention of the auction would be complete without a big, juicy thank-you to Sally Rauschenfels, our Auction Chair. Thanks to all of you who helped set up for the dinner, sold tickets at the door, helped chop the veggies, and cleaned up afterwards. And a big thank-you to Juanita Kammerman for putting together a dessert table that won’t soon be forgot! DPPA also extends its thanks to Wendi Carlson for creating the great centerpieces, Patty McNulty and Duke Skorich for acting as Masters of Ceremony, and Carolyn Sheets for bringing the relaxation of chair massages to the night. A very special thanks goes to event chair Iver Bogen, the fellow who organized committees, bought food, put up posters, distributed tickets, cajoled many of our auction donations, and suffered through frequent nightmares that we would not have enough cooking pots to make the dinner! And we extend our gratitude to Hal Moore, who oversaw every aspect of the creation of the excellent meal, along with the help of Pasta-Sauce Queen, Dorothy Wolden, and Salad Maven, Carla Blumberg. The night certainly would not have been complete as well without the music of DPPA member Steve Johnson and his band Stone’s Throw and Wendy Grethen, whose inspired dulcimer performance was a sheer delight.
