   BBW WRAPUP - ONE HOT NIGHT IN PALO ALTO  
 

 

from July/August 1997

Mary Lou Goforth

On Wednesday, June 25, 1997, everyone arrived at the Blue Chalk Cafe in Palo Alto not quite knowing what was in store for the rest of the evening. . . .

Well, it seems that everyone was pleasantly surprised with excellent food with a Cajun flair - even the grits were eaten as fast as they were put out on the table. Oysters, shrimp, catfish, green beans, and fritters added to the menu. Swamp pie and carrot cake were our desserts.

However, the food was not the true highlight of the evening! The announcement of new Board members, a new Executive Board, and the BBW Scholarship winners started the evening. After that, we had a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit led by Gloria Fontana and Caricatures by "Joe" (we may hold a contest to see if you can identify everyone from the pictures). The Pool Tournament, organized by Randy Hurst and Jim McCasland, was a big hit, and George Christensen and Kathryn Collins-Duba defeated many able and expert players. Who would have thought . . .

The Raffle was a success and raised lots of dollars for BBW Scholarships. Thanks to The Banta Company, Bawden Printing, Convert-It!, R. R. Donnelley, GTS Graphics, Irene Imfeld, The Left Coast Group, Phoenix Color, Proctor-Willenbacher, Publishers Press, and Webcrafters for all the wonderful raffle prizes donated.

A special thanks to all who worked to put this together. Also to my co-host, Peter Leatherwood. Without you all, the evening would not have been such a success! Enjoy the summer, and see you in September!
