Letters to the Club

Peter,

Just a quick note to thank all the folks at the club for making our 40^th high school reunion a wonderful event. The food and the service were excellent and my fellow classmates thought the presentation and the effort on our behalf superb. Luke, Kim and Darren were very cordial and a delight to have working the event for us. Mary Pat made the planning so easy. I was very pleased that I could host this event and provide such a perfect venue for my classmates.

Thanks to you all,

Dear Peter, Mary Pat, and Luke,

Thank you for the fabulous evening you provided for our Sahalie Auction! We had so much fun and made a lot of money. Luke and his crew were amazing… so helpful, kind, patient, and reassuring. Anything we needed, he got for us. I can’t thank him enough for making my life (as chairman) so free of stress.

KUDOS to the chef… absolutely amazing food! Everybody was raving about how great the dinner was… and we all thought it was just going to be hors d’oeuvres. That was an incredible MEAL!

The College Club is such a perfect place for a function… roomy, elegant, and great service. I am very sad that it is being sold, but I’m sure you all will emerge in another great location that we can all frequent again.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making another special occasion so outstanding.

Sincerely,

Lynn Boyle (aka College Club President Jack Gunner’s sister)

Dear Mary Pat,

Last Saturday, The College Club hosted a wonderful wedding reception for our daughter, Patricia and her husband. Please congratulate your Dining Room Manager, Mr. Luke Fosler, for structuring the most enjoyable and impressive wedding reception that we have ever attended. Here are the highlights we enjoyed:

* The beautifully arranged food and wide variety of Pacific Northwest cuisine

* The wedding cake - huge, attractive and delicious

* Outstanding music. The pianist performed a wide number of romantic, popular and classical pieces

* The entire staff was very friendly, courteous and took excellent care of us in every way

Warm regards and loud cheers.

Sincerely,

John V. Patterson, Jr.

Hi Mary Pat –

What a wonderful and different Open House the College Club had on Friday evening (April 21^st 2006). The entertainment was so nice to listen to while eating superb food and watching couples dance. What a change from the usual Sunday afternoon. It was great to see so many members and guests attending Friday night. Hope you keep an evening Open House in the future.

Thanks to everyone – especially Dave and Luke and you Mary Pat. A star for the chefs!

Hugs to all –

Marian Goddard
