This is a time when we get together to enjoy a fine meal and glass of wine, reflect on our goals and accomplishments, and thank those who have made a significant contribution to the education of our community. This year we want to give special thanks to Orange Girtz, who so ably and creatively led our Young Readers’ Book Club, and Rachel Fox, children's librarian at the Port Washington Public Library, who helped select the books and facilitated this project every step of the way. Thank you, Orange and Rachel, for making this endeavor such a success.
RSVPs are a must! Payment will be collected at the door. Dinner will include appetizer, main course with salad and side dish, wine or beer, pastry, coffee, and gratuity.
