Update:  We understand there are ongoing concerns about the COVID-19 virus.  We are disappointed that we had to postpone our Annual 2021 Fundraiser Dinner and are discussing options for a reimagined event for our upcoming banquet scheduled for Thursday, April 14, 2022.  Our primary concern is always the health and safety of our honorees, sponsors, partners, and all attendees.  We are exploring various options and encourage you to visit this website periodically for updates as we finalize plans.  Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding.
