Annual Dinner
|
The annual dinner is one of CFFU's few money raising events. Donations of equipment and supplies for raffles, auctions and door prizes are received from supporters of CFFU's objective -- to promote increase awareness and participation in the art of fly fishing and preservation of our resources.
The CFFU 2017 Annual Dinner and Fundraiser will be held at the California Auto Museum on Sunday, November 12th. Although the dinner officially starts at 3:30, members can come early to browse the auto displays. At the Welcome Table, Carl Lang will greet all our members and guests and hands out name badges. Betty Pfeifer will provide an amazing spread of complementary appetizers and Tim Au-Young will have the no-host bar open. Rich and Jim Berdan sell raffle tickets under the pop-up tent. You can buy raffle tickets and start bidding on the silent auction items immediately. Dress is casual. Men traditionally wear anything from nice fishing shirts and good jean to suits. Women wear anything from nice jeans to dresses. Bring a sweater or light jacket. Although the museum is a warehouse you would never know it! Meloney Welborn coordinates the table decorations. Ken Davis displays the CFFU Year in Review slide show on the big screen. The side room and stage are filled with raffle and silent auction items. The terrific committee transforms the warehouse area into a warm inviting room, full of holiday spirit! Buffet style dinner is served at 6:00. It includes tri-tip, chicken, roasted potatoes, salad, rolls, seasonal vegetables, cooked onsite and served by the Buckhorn staff (a vegetarian option is available). Coffee and cake follow for dessert. Rob Scafe is our emcee and professional auctioneer Justin Trick runs our live auction. A huge thanks goes to our dinner committee who works hard to make this event a success: Brandi and Arthur Herron, Sandy and Rich Wilson, Anita Scuri, Meloney Welborn, Carl Lang, Sheila Cavanaugh, Lona Banks, Dave Lentz, Jim Walker, Ken Davis, Tim Au-Young, Betty and Keith Pfeifer, Jim Berdan, Justin Trick, Julie Kaye, John Coldiron, Paul Wisheropp, Rob Scafe, Mary and Michael Wall, Rich Kendall and Mike Williams. I hope to see you there! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call me. Laurie Banks Annual Dinner Chair (916) 709-1309 |
