Westfest
Posted September 27, 2007
What a great WestFest! Many thanks to all who volunteered and attended this super fun festival. We are excited to announce that sales were up over 18% from last year - even with a light rain! Another awesome figure is that the teacher’s Cookie Lee table raised $600 for the school! While WestFest is still fresh in your mind, please send any feedback to Jodi Sherwood or Sarah Dahleen. We want to know how we can make WestFest 2008 even better. A fun yet casual wrap-up party will be held at 7:00pm on October 5th at Talarico’s in the West Seattle junction. BYOB (Buy Your Own Beer)and EGC (Enjoy Great Company). Hope to see you there!

From Your Westfest Bingo Chairs
Posted September 27, 2007
Thank you to all the hardworking volunteers who helped make BINGO such a great success this year. We had so much fun and we couldn’t have done it without all of you. Thank you to all our sellers Mark Benson, Sandy Brown, Dave DuPuy, Joe and Sandy Koszarek, Julie McKelvey, Jim Newstrom, Donna Popich, Kate Price, Melody & Michael Sarkies, and Todd Waltier for doing such a fabulous job working those tables. And thank you to all our callers Bruno Tarabocia, Jo Benson, Ann Bowers, and Father John for doing such an awesome job working the crowds. This was a very exciting and successful year. Thanks to Bruno and the generous sponsors he collected from, we had the biggest jackpot and the highest profits ever. We’re already looking forward to next year’s frenzy at the annual Father John Blackout, and hope you can join us again!
