This year our annual dinner dance/fund raiser will be held on February 6, 2010, at the Radisson Hotel Milwaukee West, 2303 N. Mayfair Rd and across from the Mayfair shopping mall.  It's a very nice facility with ample parking, excellent food and facilities. They are offering us a special discount on the rooms of $89 per night plus tax.  Save the date and plan to make it a special weekend by staying overnight after the party, especially if you will be coming from a distance.  The party will begin at 6:00 PM with appetizers, games, and auctions. Dinner is at 7:00PM and live music and dancing starts at 8:00PM.  The games and auctions will continue throughout the evening.  Invitations will be mailed at the end of December so watch for yours.

Invite your friends and relatives and be sure to include their names on your RSVP card indicating who will be seated together.  The board decided to keep the cost down to $35 per person this year, though the cost to the club will be slightly higher.  We hope you will come with your friends and have fun playing the games and bidding on the auction items while helping our club raise the funds needed for our programs throughout the year.

Items are needed for the dinner dance silent auction. Auction items can either be purchased and donated, or may be handcrafted where you can show off your other talents!  Please bring your items to either the December 9th or January 13th membership meetings or get them to one of the board members by January 25.  Attach the name of the donor and the approximate dollar value to each donated item.  This will help with record keeping and will also give the set-up committee an idea for a minimum bid.  Please do NOT bring any items to the dinner on Saturday night because the set up will be completed the afternoon of that day.  If you have any questions please contact Joanne Ziarek who is again this year’s chairperson and is looking for a lot of help. Please let her know if you’d like to get involved.
