The Soper-Reese Fundraising Committee is grateful for the support of the following businesses and individuals who made generous donations to our annual fundraising event in the fall, held for the first time at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre. For our Harvest Moon Dinner & Dance on Oct. 3, the theater was transformed into a dinner/dance club and showcased another use of your performing arts theater.
We thank our major sponsors who include the Blue Wing Saloon & Café in Upper Lake, the Lake County Winegrape Commission and Ceago Vinegarden. Wineries, as always, were generous in their donations of wine: Brassfield Estate, Ceago Vinegarden, Gregory Graham, Six Sigma, Tulip Hill and Zoom Wineries. The Early Lake Lions Club provided an inviting cocktail bar for our guests. Applerain Nursery loaned many plants to enhance the ambiance of the theater, with florist Sabrina creating the beautiful centerpieces.
Shaun Hornby of Hornby Furniture Restoration was our auctioneer extraordinaire. Live auction items were donated by the following: Lakeport English Inn, Park Place Restaurant, Ann and George Linn, Enrico and Kris Frediani, Karl and Sharon Nicoll, Chuck Farrell, R.B. Peters and Kelseyville Lumber.
Silent auction items were donated by Brad Barnwell, Clear Lake B&B, T.J.’s Restaurant, Tom Jordan, Guy Strohmeier’s Auto Center, Mackey Tire, Buckingham Golf & Country Club, Disney’s Water Sports, Ciao Thyme, Steele Winery, Wildhurst Winery, Cindy Carr, Pieces Boutique, Hans Dobusch, Debi Freeland, Betty Lou Surber, the estate of Joan Holman, Lakeview Market and Edgewater Resort.
Lovely music during the reception and dinner was performed by Dan Meyer. Following dinner and the live auction, the Mendocino Jazz Band, under the direction of John Parkinson, played their big band music, to the delight of the guests.
The entire event was a success, thanks to our donors and those individuals and organizations mentioned above. We appreciate the support of this generous community as we continue the renovation of the Soper-Reese Community Theatre.
