Eastern Sierra Monophiles Gather at Whiskey CreekApproximately 100 Mono Lake friends gathered to share stories and laughter at the annual Eastern Sierra "Thank You!" Party in Mammoth Lakes last November. Hosted by Whiskey Creek restaurant, the party offered a chance to catch up on Mono Lake events, meet fellow Mono enthusiasts, and discuss Mono's future with Committee staff. Party attendees also had a chance to win one of the 20 door prizes--ranging from framed photos to a keg of microbrew--donated by local artists and business owners. After the prizes were given away, Committee staff presented outgoing Executive Director Martha Davis a bouquet of flowers and a poem to show their appreciation and admiration. Following the party, those who wished to stay longer met downstairs for dinner, where more great food and conversations were had. All in all, a fun evening was enjoyed by all--we'll see you again next year! Special thanks go to Sam and Shelly Walker for donating use of Whiskey Creek, lots of wonderful appetizers, and the door prize keg of microbrew. The following businesses and artists kindly donated services and merchandise for the event: Access Business Center (Katie Thomsen); Carl Dennis Buell; Fabrications (Leslie Byberg); In-Touch Massage (Barbara Phillips & Carrie Plessinger); Lisa Jaeger, CPA; Brad Dawber, Photographer & Mammoth Gallery; Richard Knepp, Photographer; Tim Sanford, Attorney At Law; Sierra Sundance Earth Foods (Denise & Nick); The Booky Joint (Marty Lewis); The Flower Barn (Jennie Bouwman); The Great Outdoors (Rick Knepp); The Pet Pantry (Kim & Jim Dudley); Jack Trefrey Pottery (Jack Trefrey); Wilson's Eastside Sports (James Wilson); and Sam & Shelly Walker and the entire Whiskey Creek staff!
