Kudos to Chef Peter’s Bistro in Sun Village!  There were 42 of our members in attendance and I think a good time was had by all!  Chef Peter’s did an outstanding job with a delicious meal in the newly opened facility in Sun Village and the wait staff did an excellent job making sure we were happy.  We were entertained by Reboot the Band, an excellent 5 piece ensemble that played a great mix of oldies and country.  The highlight of the evening was the silent auction to benefit the Employed and Overjoyed Foundation which supports Spencer’s Place.  The auction was a huge success netting $4,470 to be donated to the foundation on January 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to so many of our members who donated items to the auction, helped secure donations from the community, and certainly to the huge crew who showed up early to help set up and\/or stay late to help clean up<\/p>\n\n\n
