Night Under the Tuscan Stars

Mark your calendars for next year everyone! Night Under the Tuscan Stars is the Fresno Chamber's Annual Fundraising event and what a great time everyone had. The outdoor event is held at the Goss residence in a picturesque backyard. The tables were spread throughout the east portion of the yard while the live and silent auction items were displayed at the west end of the yard. The live auction was quite an event as the items up for auction were in demand. Items ranged from tours of KMJ Talk Radio to coastal get a ways while the silent auction had a myriad of things to catch people's interests. Items included were golf clubs, jewelry, weekend get a ways, gift baskets, landscaping packages, restaurants and more. Dinner was catered by Pardinnis and the food was fabulous. Kristin Valenzuela and Hannah DeGroot sold 50/50 raffle tickets while Shawna Speake and Dale Bierce greeted people at the front. The Ambassadors even had some volunteer bartenders with Mary Pond and Stephanie Olsen. John Wallace did the announcing for the event. He did a great job speaking and kept everyone current about what was happening. Liz Ybarra, D. Adams, Velma Crowley, Dixie Wilson and Melissa Dobson, all of which work at the Chamber were in attendance helping the event run smoothly. Many people from the community were there to enjoy the festivities. Debbie Hunsaker Alert-O-Lite Inc., Rick Whitsell Fresno First Bank, Joan Eaton Guarantee Real Estate and Home Loans, Al Solis Sol Development Associates, Eric Johnson AT&T, Morel Bagunu Fashion Fair, Al Galvez PG&E, Sieg Fischer Valley Yellow Pages, Darius Assemi Granville Homes just to name a few. Great food and drink with fantastic company and exciting auctions equaled a fabulous time in my book! Thank Fresno Chamber for putting on a great event and I can't wait to do it again next year!
