Thank You From Our President

Posted on Updated on

Good evening:

 I would like to propose a toast to the club and the members for pulling off a classy show today. Whether you worked in the gardens or in the kitchen or supported the tour by purchasing a ticket and attending, it was by any standard a very fine event.

For my part I enjoyed working with a frighteningly efficient kitchen crew. I continue to be so very, very impressed with a group of women who do anything that they set out to do. It has been very good to work with you and I want to thank you for making today possible. Our only limit is our imagination.
At this point, we do not have a total of revenues collected. It will be acceptable  regardless. We did have some challenges this year that we will not have next year. I will share this information with you as soon as it becomes available.

In the meantime, enjoy the summer hiatus. You have earned it.
Best
Lenore
