Archive - Garden Party 2010 was August 13th
The 34th District Garden Party on August 13th featured great food from the Matthew Lewis' Whereyaatmatt, plus music, a silent auction and an oral auction using our celebrity guest auctioneer and State Senator (soon to be King County Councilmember) Joe McDermott. We had a paid attendance of 71 and gross receipts of $8,964. What a success! The party was held at the West Seattle Nursery and featured a New Orleans' Mardi Gras theme, which of those attending actively donning their costumes.
