President's Dinner to honor Steveston's volunteers

I had the honor of being invited to the Steveston Community Society's first annual President's Dinner recognizing the contributions of volunteers who assist our community in so many ways. So, last night, October 11, 2008, hundreds gathered to celebrate the "Spirit of Steveston" through good food, music, awards ceremony and dance.

Catered by my friend, Chef Ken Iaci, of Papi's Ristorante Italiano, I knew we were in for some good eats, and Ken and staff did not disappoint. The evening's entertainment was provided by the whacky troupe named Divas Las Vegas. Then the volunteer awards ceremony followed, recognizing those who have served our community with enthusiasm and dedication. The night was capped off by more music and dancing.

All-in-all, a great night out with community friends, and thanks so much for all the volunteers for their tireless efforts in maintaining the "Spirit of Steveston."
