Invitation
Please consider this your personal invitation
to a dinner to recognize the many wonderful
volunteers and donors who worked so hard to
make the Gala a success.
This will also be your opportunity to help
celebrate the retirement of Cape Carancahua’s
Maintenance Supervisor Gary Simpson. He is
retiring after many hard-working years of
keeping everything at the Cape running smoothly.
Join us at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 20, at the new pavilion
across from the boat launch. We’ll provide the fajitas and drinks. Bring
a side dish if you like, but you are cordially invited to come with or
without. There will be more than enough for everyone.
