There'll be Cioppino (of course) as well as non-seafood (i.e., Lasagna and other goodies). Don't forget about the Silent Auction and the Raffle. This year we have a special raffle with a much-sought-after prize: a Trip on the Napa Valley Wine Train. There will by many more prizes to give away.
This is our biggest fund-raiser of the year, so don't miss it. If you don't have your tickets, yet, contact Lori Formusa at 408-293-6341. You can also reach her via email at lformusa@mindspring.com.

YIKES! CRUNCH TIME FOR THE CIOPPINO NIGHT Have you sold your tables yet? Each Exchange member should sell two tables. As it stands, Phil Griego is the only one to make and break that goal. Let's get out there and invite our friends to join us for our biggest fundraiser. |
Don't forget about our Associate Membership. Associate members only pay $10.00 per month, plus $20.00 for any lunch attended. This will enable new members, who may not be able to attend luncheons very often, to still enjoy the benefits of Exchange. |
| Nominations for Exchangite of the
Year and Lifetime Achievement Award. Recognition for outstanding
contributions is an important element for personal growth. Every local club
has Exchangites who deserve such recognition. The criteria, process, and
forms are in the District Trophies and Awards Booklet and on the
district web sit. Please complete a nomination form for your most deserving
Exchangites. They are due in May, but start working on them now.
|
Candidates for District Office. The district organization's fundamental purpose is to provide the guidance and mentoring wherever it may reside within the district. To administer this provisioning process, the district needs motivated, dedicated, experienced Exchangites to serve as facilitators in the divisional areas and as officers of the district organization. To be a candidate for a district office to be elected at the District convention in June, an Exchangite need only satisfy the prerequisites and conditions outlined in Article X of the Bylaws, and forward their name to Ed Harvey or Rick Gordon, by May 20th. A form for a suggested candidate to complete is on the district web site. |
As you will recall, the Cioppino is brought to the tables in a family-style
serving pot. These pots come from our households, and we will need about 30
of them, and 30 large ladles, to make the evening successful. The pot should
be 3-4 quarts, minimum size is 3qts (24 cups), about the size of a spaghetti
pot. Chef Bruce is asking that each member commit to obtaining two pots and
two ladles to be loaned for the event. Please bring the pots and ladles to
lunch on Tuesday, April 30 (i.e., our next meeting) and we will store
them until Friday. You will be able to pick them up on Friday.
