<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Chris,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I have been away most of the summer and have
not attended many Wed dinners. Tonight I saw what a difference you have made
this year. Attracting a new (very good) caterer was something none of
us had been able to accomplish in at least the past 5 years, which is bringing
in the crowds like were there tonight. The town folks who are members are
finally enjoying the Club, which in turn creates a strong local volunteer base.
Many of them did not come to Stan's dinners which were worse every year.
Now there is a waiting list!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I also congratulate you on the "seating chart" . It
was a great solution to the "sign up early" issues and I heard several people
say tonight how nice that was. You have also help create a surplus in the
budget by the success of your events.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I can only say I wish I had done as good a job when
I was V/C as you have this year. I sincerely congratulate you.</FONT></DIV>
