NCPOA Fall Scholarship Luncheon in West Sacramento hosted by Chief Dan Drummond and the West Sacramento Police Department on November 19, 2009.
Moose Lodge served as a gracious host for the event.
Gracious hosts but a gentlewarning, don't touch the Moose.
Another well ladened raffle table to tempt the members. Humble web master was again shut out??
The line formed early for an excellent offering by our caterer All Seasons for All Reasons. Two entrees in honor of the Scholarship guests.
The Lodge Hall filled up fast and we kept adding table and chairs to accommodate the 85 that showed up. Great turnout, but a little cozy. Fortunately, no rain.
Our exceptional bartender, Gil Magness and his able assistant Ray Meyers did an outstanding job in some what cramped quarters.
Larry and Marci Stamm are joined by Marlin Weinberger and Bill Miller of the SCDSA.
And the line continues but the food never ran out.

Laguna Town Hall is a good venue with not so good parking available for the 80 guests.
Our host, Sheriff McGinness sharing a moment with Bob Lucca about future plans.
The Christmas Raffle table was a sight to behold, George Lewis and Bob Ghiglieri really out did themselves. Our Caterer Mike Garcia added to the haul.

A pledge of allegiance and a word of thanks to begin the meal and acknowledge all that we have to be thankful for in this year.
Our caterer and life member Mike Garcia, hard at work making sure everyone got enough to eat. Thanks Mike.
Has anyone ever seen Don Slivka without a smile on his face?
Although he couldn't stay long, he did stop by for a brief chat and some advice from your humble webmaster. Good luck in the New Year.
