Support for the River of Time Museum last Saturday night at its Annual Italian Dinner was overwhelming – from the involvement of over 95 businesses who donated items and certificates, to a solid group of volunteers who know what needs to be done and stepped up to make sure the event was successful, to the community who came to the event, filling the four ballrooms at the Community Center and buying up just about everything on display.

We are extremely grateful!

First and foremost we want to recognize Phil Rodakis, who donated all the food for the dinner. Phil’s Filling Station has generously assisted the museum for many years and we are so appreciative of Phil’s amazing generosity.

We are thankful to four sponsors of the event – Brooklyn Bedding, Cox Communications, Carl and Eunice Feinberg and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation. We greatly value your financial commitment to our organization.

We appreciate State Senator John Kavanagh accepting the job of auctioneer and eliciting much laughter as he encouraged higher bidding. Also, thanks to Mike Fenzel and staff at the Community Center for the very pleasant way they make everything happen with their attention to detail.

To all the volunteers, the supporting businesses and everyone who came to enjoy the evening and helped us raise funds to make your museum bigger and better, a huge thank you!
