The organizational committee for the Bishop Hogan Dinner Auction met on January 7, 2010. Sheila Ealey is once again overseeing the group that solicits donations and sponsorships. Organizational committee members: Marla Laidler (I.T./computer planning for the event), Chris Fleming (PR and Marketing), Diane Bonderer (food, kitchen, etc.), Mike & Marti Miller (auction), and Bob and Mary Conrad. Bob came up with our "catch phrase" for this year's event: "Bishop Hogan...Island of Dreams". We are going to have an Hawaiian Luau theme, which should be lots of fun!
