With a special thanks to our outgoing president
At the opening of our meeting Christian asked that the members join him in thanking Patti for being such a great President over the past 5 years. Richard Birkett presented Patti with a token of our appreciation for her presidency, which was handcrafted by Richard himself. Christian also presented the youngest “member” Timothy Wong with a Bordeaux to be enjoyed upon his 21st birthday, which was accepted on his behalf by his Mom, Erin Culbert. Those present proceeded to enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by Corks and paired wines chosen by Christian. A plaque was also presented to the Cork’s chef. At the end of the evening Patti was bestowed with the IWFS Silver Medal for her outstanding service to the chapter presented by Tom Alton and Christian.
