Annual Dinner
The Clear Fork Valley Foundation hosted its 15th Annual Dinner on Friday April 4th, 2008 at the St. Paul Lutheran Church Community Room.  This evening of dinner and program spotlighted the valley's youth and benefited the scholarship funds.  The Clear Fork High School Combo Band, under the direction of Mr. Ralph Brown, opened the evening with a nice selection of music.  A delicious buffet of prime rib, chicken rosemary skewers, and stuffed salmon, catered by Fast Eddies, set the stage for the evening program.  The Summer Enrichment students, Audra and Molly Delaney, Sarah and Joshua Blauser, and McKinley Green spoke on the experiences at the summer programs. We also were entertained by the Kindergarten Chorus, a solo by Kate Miller, a comedy monologue by Jon Boone, a performance by Samantha Preiss, Meredith Preiss, and Ann Tager, and a violin solo by McKinley Green.  The room was beautifully decorated with art from the entire Clear Fork Valley school system.  It  was a very nice and enjoyable evening!  Plan to attend next year!

Details for The 2008 Senior Awards Dinner at The Dutch Heritage Restaurant will be forthcoming.
