News about June 15, 2007 event for a summer swim camp for disadvantaged children.

The program will be organized by the St. Thomas Swimming Association
and "PAL", The Police Athletic League.
A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and contributed to last Friday's Dinner and a Cause.  56 Women attended and together we raised $3200!  These monies will be used to fund a summer swim program for a group of local children who would otherwise not have this opportunity.
Many people helped to make this dinner party happen.  Firstly we would like to send a big thank you to the Ladd's, Ariane and Jim, for welcoming us into their beautiful home for this occasion.  Ariane was a lovely hostess and made us all feel at home.
The delicious food was a labor of love.  Damaris Catering of The Great House donated a number of the dishes.  This isn't the first time she has contributed and we are very thankful for her generosity. The sushi hors d' oeuvers were prepared and donated by Oafa Galli of "Sushi A La Galli".  They were yummy! Patty of S & P Seafood in Sub Base donated all of the platters of salmon!  So very generous Patty!  As usual, Iris & Pam supplied the deee-licious pecan bars and chocolate chip cookies that were a big hit! The Fruit Bowl donated all that fresh fruit!  Thank you Fruit Bowl. Thanks to June & Val of Home Again who donated utensils that were most useful.
A big THANK YOU to Jen who gave up her Friday night to act as our bartender for the evening.  She contributed not only her time, but a great attitude and was a big help setting up and cleaning up as were Mac and Pete.
Please support these businesses who support their community.  Let them know that their generosity is appreciated!

We look forward to seeing you all again next time. 
Have a great summer!

Cheers,

Sharon, Terry and Suzanne
