Saturday, Sept 20 DU Banquet


The Louisa DU banquet was Saturday. Everybody had a good time. For Amy and me, it was nice to be able to sit and enjoy dinner.....no "chairman" duties. Andy and Troy put on a good event. Helping without interfering was tough.....if you hand over the reigns, you've got to let go. Finally winning a Benelli raffle and watching Arlene's reaction to the "raffle girl" made the evening.

The crowd was a little thin and prices in the auction were down some. The media frenzy over the Wall Street meltdown probably didn't help. I felt for Andy a little, but as I told him....you prepare and plan....then it's banquet night. Let the chips fall and send the check to DU. We have no control over some things.

As pressure continues to mount to plow up and develop wetlands, the need remains for support. If you couldn't make the banquet, you can still lend a hand. Every dollar helps.
