people attended our 2010 Annual Dinner on March 19th at
the Irvine Hilton. The room had ample room for the chapter
display tables on one side and the Silent Auction tables
on the other side. Everyone enjoyed the social hour before
dinner with the no-host bar and the opportunity to look
at the displays and make the rounds at the Silent Auction
tables where a large number of interesting items were
so artfully laid out by Cheryl Thomas. Gretchen McCausland’s
beautiful floral centerpieces graced each table, making
the room look inviting and festive |

Jon Dunn's great program on "Warblers of California and
North America." It was definitely a memorable evening!
The following morning, Jon presented a more in depth workshop
on warbler migration routes and identification. |

like to thank all the people who worked together to make this
event such a success. the unstinting efforts of Cheryl Thomas's
work on the silent auction deserves special recognition. Organizing
the auction was a big undertaking and Cheryl began planning
for it 11 months in advance, putting in many long hours on the
project; this year's silent auction netted $4250. Thank you,
Cheryl, for doing such a great job! |
