Volunteer Appreciation Dinner – Sierra Nevada Region PCA

On November 8 club members gathered at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner organized by Debbie and John Hertel at the Napa Sonoma dining room. Each volunteer was greeted by Debbie and John with the gift of 2 wine glasses engrave with our Sierra Nevada Region logo and a thank you card for their hard work. The bar tender then filled the glasses with each volunteer’s favorite beverage. Tasty appetizers were also available to nourish the conversation as Sierra Nevada Region’s 2018 events were discussed. Napa Sonoma then placed a wonderful buffet of Pan-Seared King Salmon with White Cranberry Reduction, Chicken Diablo with Linguine, Braised Short Ribs and Pearl Onions, Wild Artisan Rice, Roasted Garlic Potatoes, House Salad with Dressing and Sautéed Seasonal Vegetables. Deserts ended the meal with Delectable Cheesecake with Fresh Berries and Chocolate Decadence Cake. Everyone had a wonderful time, thanks Debbie and John and thank you volunteers whose hard work keep the club going and make for all of our fun events! If you haven’t volunteered join us in the fun by hosting an event, helping at an event or serving as an officer! Each volunteer was recognized and honored by club president Steve Kent.
