Thank you to everyone who joined us September 10th at the Old Trolley Barn under the Hawthorne Bridge. We truly appreciate your help in launching PDX Bridge Festival and the Hawthorne Bridge 2010 Centennial Calendar.

We were delighted to have Multnomah County Chair Ted Wheeler and Mayor Sam Adams as our special guests, and their endorsements of the calendar and other bridge merchandise helped raise almost $2,000 toward the 2010 PDX Bridge Festival. We would also like to thank William Heinz of de Richter Productions who kicked off our fundraising with a $500 personal contribution.  Thanks again to all our presenters and artists for making it a special evening, and a special thanks to Tony Lester and Ian Cannon who allowed us to turn the Bridge Maintenance Headquarters into a venue for our event!
