SCRAPBOOK – Workers' Party
The working crew of the 2019 NRDC arrived at the ballroom of the Best Western headquarters hotel and were greeted with a very nice spread of both a warm meal and a lot of exciting raffle prizes. Folks continued to bid on the Silent Auction items until the time was up as emcee, John Russell, called numbers and names and entertained the assembled crowd. The party was fun and a nice break for everyone as they talked about how the week had gone.
