Dear Members,
With our new location for the show and the bird stands that were made by Leonard seem to be the magic touch we needed to make the show the best we ever had. Many, many thanks to Phil Dubois Show Director and Joe Gordon Show Manager and all the other committee members who helped make this show a huge success. A special thanks to Ruby and her committee people who prepared a delicious menu for us. Another thanks to Richard Quieto and his wife for making the kitchen shine. Thanks to everybody.....
A donation will be sent to the Santa Clara High School Student Body of $100 to be used at their own discression. We have already reserved the school for the Thanksgiving weekend for next year. Circle the date...
