Year-end party celebrates season finale

Dear Editor,

Lynne Huntting, Race Reporter and Marcia Ulise, Chief Starter

I want to give a huge thank you to the sponsors of the End of the Year Party!  Big thanks to Jim Devenport and Cranbrook Racing, San Francisco Region, Reno Region and RDC.  We had a lot of help from drivers Joe Briggs, Joe Montana and Brent Hatchett.   A very large thank you goes to Jim Thompson and the Thunderhill Grill staff –they managed to feed over 220 people with great food!  And we can’t forget the margarita bar served well by RJ Gordy and Barbara McClellan– I think it went dry before the evening was over!  The Lost Reverends of the High Sierra were fantastic with their music – we had a full dance floor, thank you Geno Barbera.

I also want to thank the folks who dressed for the occasion – some of the more memorable were Hank Raymond, Lisa Devlin, Helga and Bruce Brunner and once again Brent Hatchett – you certainly added some Halloween spice to the evening.  Claire Kelly, Carol Deborde and Nan Mendes helped make the event happen.  And Tim Sullivan you did a great job as the raffle auctioneer.  Thank you all!!!  Let’s do it again!
