Hospitality – Lori Elvera

Volunteers for Hospitality subcommittees:

Agility – Lori Elvera (Note, this budget is part of the agility trial, and not under the Hospitality committee budget).

Specialty Match – Alex & Margaret Hoover.  Jamie will get the boxes of picnic supplies he has at home to Alex and Margaret.

Local Specialty – Rachel Paulson.  Rachel asked if folks would like to graze during the show or enjoy a meal after the event concludes.  She took a  poll of the members present, but it was suggested she send out a note to the membership.

 

Holiday Party – Linda Kitzman.

Lori presented a suggestion to Linda Kitzman regarding holding the holiday party at Bonefish Grill on Wadsworth (across from Southwest Plaza).  Lori knows the owner from her son’s baseball team. He offered a fundraiser to the baseball team and now to DSA  where tickets for a dinner including appetizer, salad, and a choice of 1 of 4 entrees were included in the $20 price.  At the conclusion of the dinner, the owner offers back a portion of the ticket sales!   Both Lori and Thalia had attended the baseball fundraiser and the food was incredible.  It was served, not buffet, and the seating was open so people could mingle easily.   The area where we would sit is just a section of the restroom, not a separate room, so there would not be enough room to conduct the rescue raffle. However, representatives of rescue committee (Sue, Thalia and Michael) were ok with that, since this fundraiser would pay for a good part of the holiday party. Michael had a great suggestion to move the rescue raffle to the Agility Trial in January, which would open it up to more people and increase the potential of more raffle ticket sales! 

 

Linda is consider this suggestion. If you like this suggestion or have other ideas please let Linda know.
