A great time at the DC Cabaret Network Potluck!

The DC Cabaret Network wants to thank all of the members and their guests who attended our potluck party on Sunday, May 17, 2009. Thanks go to Board member Emily Leatha Everson for hosting this terrific event in her Arlington home (well, hers and Charlie’s, and Mo’s, and Eloise’s). We think it was a pretty swell party, and if you weren’t there, well you missed a good time.

The DC Cabaret Network awarded certificates of appreciation to Michael Miyazaki, Ron Squeri, Kathy Reilly, and Mike Repass for their support and assistance to the Network over the past year.  The coveted Boa d’Or honors were awarded to Justin Ritchie and Matt Howe for their work on the Network’s membership database and member support, respectively. Congratulations to our honorees and to all the members of the DC Cabaret Network who have a vested interest in the growth and presentation of this wonderful art form.
