The 11th annual Italian Dinner -- another huge success for the River of Time Museum last Saturday night. That can only happen with the wonderful group of volunteers who stepped in to make everything go well.

Bob Vonderhaar, Gerry Colbert and Lee Robinson were on hand to handle any difficulties that took place. Bill Pape once again headed up the raffle ticket sellers and brought in a huge 50/50 pot for the lucky winner. Vicki Thompson decorated the huge room and turned it into a warm Italian restaurant. Greg Watkins provided great music and Leah Bushman and Anna Myhr expertly handled the bar. Teena and Niobe Borman and Jan McNally beautifully prepared all the silent auction baskets. Representative John Kavanagh once again took the live auction to new heights!

The following all pitched in to do what needed to be done: Gail Appeldorn, Paul Appeldorn, Lina Bellenir, Rhonda Brennerman, Vince Cannarsa, Marge Colbert, JoAnne Collins, Fran Intervallo, Mayor Linda Kavanagh, Bill Kulekowskis, Noreen Kurdzialek, Merita Lofgren, Joe Matt, Evelyn Munn, Bill Myhr, Sandy Myhr, Gail Pape, Micky Parker, Jane Robinson, Diane VanTassel, Anne Wicklund and Lorena Wigginton.

A very special debt of gratitude to the Historical Society Board of Directors who did a fantastic job selling tickets and obtaining most of the business donations.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers and all the businesses and individuals who donated toward this successful event.
