USO Canteen Dinner Dance on May 21st - Eva and Clara want to thank you all so much for your participation in our successful event last Saturday.  'Divine Intervention' brought us a replacement DJ and Miss Outstanding Teen Chesterfield, 2011, Savannah Lane, at practically the last minute.  'Mom's Kitchen' menu was so well-received that there were virtually no leftovers after people went back for seconds.  Special thanks to Horace Scott and Victor Agosto in the kitchen, who executed most of the menu for us (if only I'd have told them when to serve it!!!)  Thanks to all who pitched in to decorate (great plan, Clara!) and clean up, plate salad and cake, and serve our guests.  Thanks to Whitey Keller, Diane DePlato, Marty Prebish, the Duncans, and those others of you who sold our tickets.  Thanks to those of you who donated uniforms and memorabilia-along with the artifacts from the Powhatan World War II Roundtable, the Bingo Hall and the Clubroom looked fantastic! Receipts look good, and our charities may get some matching funds from a close party (wink!)  Our guests from the USO and the Fisher House were impressed and enjoyed themselves.  Special thanks to Natalie Bradshaw, who scored 15 separate door prizes and handled the traffic at the door.  Thanks to Tricia Riggs of the RIC's USO Center, for the Gift Baskets and to Jan for hawking them so well! The Knights want to run it again (jointly, please!) next year!  Prayers go out for a still-recovering DJ who couldn't be with us, Chris Craig.  Thanks also to Buddy Cranford and Paul Marretti, who got us a WAC uniform and USO decorations from Kroger respectively, and to Bobbie Wade for her female mannequin, which 'wore the WAC'. Special thanks to Cliff Borgman, whose photos of the event are being put on this website for your enjoyment.  Thanks to Bruce Alt, whose energy and enthusiasm and problem-solving in the kitchen were invaluable.  And, of course, thanks to Gene Zimmerman, for the prep work on the facility and ordering some of our supplies, and my Alan for the seating arrangements and the MC-ing.  What a team!  (Eva) © Council 6189, Knights of Columbusr 2011
