DWW 110th Anniversary Luncheon & 2010 Spring Readings was a great success. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderful afternoon. From member Judith Goren, one of the Spring Readings winner: "Yesterday's event was nicely planned and well-done. The venue was beautiful, the food good, the program interesting, and the event of 110 years worthy of recognition. I know what detail goes into making such an event run smoothly and you did well! I'm also very grateful for the recognition and the generous award I received. So, thanks for everything."
