The JFK banquet was held on Tuesday, November 29th and was
an unqualified success due to the tremendous efforts and
generosity of many individuals and local businesses. We'd
especially like to acknowledge the efforts of Ms. Kathy
Ellis (Chair) and the JFK Banquet committee as well as our
own party chair, and the evening's emcee, Brian Cronin. The
keynote speaker, the Honorable Brian Schweitzer, Governor of
Montana addressed (or perhaps more accurately, charmed) the
capacity crowd in The Grove Hotel Ballroom. The governor's
riveting speech built on the already electric mood of the
evening established in part by an historically beneficial
auction. The proceeds from this event will enhance our
ability to mobilize voters and support our local candidates
in the 2006 election. Again, thanks go out to all who helped
with this event and to Governor Schweitzer for his inspiring
appearance. The following are a few pictures taken at the
banquet.
