held its 20th Annual Dinner - Auction - Night at the Races. This years
event was very successful not only in profit, but in overall donations and
enjoyment. This was our first year in which a caterer was contracted for the
meal. We learned a few things so next year can be even better. There were so
many people that contributed to this event, in time, talent, and donations.
It is truly overwhelming, especially considering the current economic
conditions. We also had a generous donation of a 4th Degree emblem rendered in
