We owe a big Texas "Thank You" to our October Hosts, Dee and Ed Kurtzer, for the super dinner at McCormick & Schmick's.  Dee and Ed are among our newer memers and we congratulate them for stepping up and volunteering for the duty.  In a volunteer organization, the only way to keep it fresh and alive is for our newer members to get involved.  The chef is Luis Garcia.  General Manager Ryan Studt chose the wines.
