APRIL SCHOLARSHIP LUNCHEON
The Scholarship Fund Luncheon on April 21, 2009 was a great success.
The raffle and silent auction donations were quite wonderful and they were beautifully presented. We were treated to a fashion show from the Cotton Cottage in the Bernardo Winery, followed by a talk by Mike Lee, a Union-Tribune writer, about the environment. Bridge and canasta rounded out the afternoon. |
