The Mammoth Lakes Foundation welcomed a sellout crowd to the hugely successful 20th Annual Friends of the Foundation Dinner. The event took place Saturday, Dec. 4 at Edison Hall and celebrated the grand opening of the new Edison Theatre. The Foundation also honored Founders of the Year, Bob and Audrey Byers, Volunteers of the Year, Ralph and Patti Rea, and the many friends who make the Foundation’s mission of supporting higher education and culture in the Eastern Sierra a reality.
Presented by Dave and Roma McCoy, the ever popular Friends Dinner sold out three weeks in advance. The event featured beverages donated by Mammoth Brewing Company and Eberle Winery, dinner catered by The Restaurant at Convict Lake and a musical performance of the holiday classic A Christmas Carol by Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre.
Congratulations to raffle winners Bob Byers, Bob Cox, Marisa DePalma, Steve Loven and Shields Richardson who each won a beautiful, large-format Dave McCoy print. All proceeds from the raffle and event go directly to supporting higher education and cultural enrichment in the Eastern Sierra.
The Mammoth Lakes Foundation would like to give special thanks to Dave McCoy for his inspirational words, Gary Meyers for emceeing and Sue Morning for sharing her photos. –MLF Press Release
