Italian Dinner 6:00pm - 8:00pm Grazie at Verrado - No Host
By all accounts the dinner was fabulous.  Huge portions and very tasty substantial salads, 13" paper thin brick oven pizza, creamy desserts, and all at a reasonable price.  We had 28 chairs and every single on of them was filled with hungry friends.   Weekend basenji judges Marilyn Spacht, Suzanne Dillin, and Sue Joyner all joined us for the dinner and each gave high praises to our club for it's efforts to make them feel welcome.  Much lively discussion about basenjis, and the history of the breed and it's development, as well as even discussion about junior showmanship.  It was amazing to see such a wide variety of basenji folks all having a great time sharing basenji stories and good food together.
