Sponsor and Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
July 15, 2010
The WCA held its Sponsor and Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on July 15 at the Country Club of Lake City.  This dinner is a well-deserved reward for all of our loyal Blueberry Festival sponsors and volunteers.  The Country Club was a beautiful place to have the function.  They went over and above what was expected and we would recommend them to anyone. Our annual Member of the Year award was presented to Beanie Brooks and it was well-deserved.
