Of course a major thank you to Tom and Diana Wiens for their generosity each year in letting us use their lovely ranch for our picnic.

I would like to thank and acknowledge all the wonderful people that helped to make the DCGOP Picnic a success.

First and foremost my appreciation to my husband Jim Fink, and to Craig Steiner who both were involved for at least the last two weeks in prep, behind the scenes in odd jobs, the night before, the day of and the day after, with returning items, last clean up and stats.

My Dessert Auction Team:  Polly & Rick Lawrence, Pat & Bill Logue, and Linda Ready.

To the team collecting money and doing wrist bands: John and Linda Fielding, Aldis and Richard Sides, Marsha & Bob Haeflein, Mona & Dave Weaver.

To the decorating team: Rick Murray and his wife, Nikki & Dave Hoy, Marsha Haeflein, Tanne Blackburn and Connie Walker.

To the team checking wrist bands and that helped with clean up: Tom & William Vann, Don Bammes and Ken Ready.

A thank you to all our elected officials and the candidates to take time out of their busy lives and to attend this event.

To all the district captains who continued to send out emails to help promote this event.

To all who contributed to the auction, both silent and live.

To each and every one who attended and contributed their friendships, new and old.

Thank you so much for all of your contributions and stepping up to help.
