Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, November 9, 2006

The volunteers that helped to make FILA's first year at the Island a great success met over dinner in Northport. In addition to toasting our season with South Fox Light (a black strap ale featuring Island hops), we enjoyed a fine dinner sponsored by Barb von Voigtlander. Afterwards, Phil reviewed the individuals' contributions, John McKinney summarized our season review with the DNR, and Stephanie Staley, director of the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, updated the group on the relationship of FILA and GTLHM. We discussed the task list for next season and the opportunities and needs for additional volunteers. The group provided generous support to FILA and a great time was had by all!

Nice get-together at the Eat Spot in Northport.
