The 2005 Harold Larson Party at the elegant
Golden Valley Golf and Country Club was a rousing
success. A total of 260 people attended the dinner,
which featured a delicious combination of steak
and salmon. Afterward, they took part in a
"fun-raising" good time ranging from BINGO, to the
presentation of the 2006 Service Above Self Award
presented to our own Dan Barnett, to the
heartwarming testimony of STRIVE graduate
Jessika Hassan.
An event of this magnitude requires a cast of many to make it successful. Special
thanks to Diann Kirby for chairing the event; John Swaney for hosting us and
emceeing the program; Mark Bosch and Dave Walock for chairing the silent and live
auctions; Jim Mortenson and Terry Stirewalt for heading up the Tahiti raffle; and Don
Stiles, who chaired the table sponsorships.
