Thanks to all who donated goods and services. Marilyn Patterson and her crew of volunteers set up the silent auction which was quite successful. Everyone stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! A special group of Girl Scouts, Gianna and Alanna Varca, Margaret Casper and Cara Frey, did a great job of handing out programs and catalogs. The list of volunteers who do everything: checking people in, making sure people have something to drink, directing the Legends to the gathering spots, handing out the programs, is so long that I am not going to try listing them. Valet parking was courtesy of Speck-Caudron investments. The staff at the Patent Trademark Office are professional, accommodating and exceedingly patient and we appreciate them! How he manages to get everyone to smile and have their eyes open all at the same time is a wonder! He also takes the group photo to document the annual gathering of Legends for each year. Not only does he take the “official” photos of the Legends, frame them, mount them for the traveling exhibit, manage the LLA website to be certain those photos and stories are posted and many other things connected to the ongoing project, he also takes pictures of the Legends and those who come to the reception to help celebrate. Steven Halperson, Tisara Photography, deserves special thanks. The Legends told of their own reasons for contributing in a video filmed and edited by NOVA students Dario Baguena and Paul Shalonis. Mayor Bill Euille and Congressman Jim Moran (via video) offered their congratulations to the 2014 Legends and expressed their pride in how LLA brings the efforts of these special people to the attention of the whole community. John Porter did his usual stellar job as MC. Thanks to the Alexandria Town Crier, Ben Fiore-Walker.
