Pouring rain on January 26, 2008, did not dampen the enthusiasm of over 100 Republicans who gathered from throughout Silicon Valley to support the election of Dean Andal to the US Congress. The “Fun Raiser” was a grassroots efforts organized by the Silicon Valley Association of Republican Women (SVARW) and co-sponsored by Santa Clara County Republican Assembly (CRA), SVGOP and the West Valley Federated Women. We raised over $4,600 to help Dean win a seat in the US Congress in November!

It was definitely a FUN event with the 20 piece Sons Of Jubal Big Band providing the music as guests enjoyed appetizers, dinner, dessert…and, of course, dancing. The highlight of the evening was the opportunity to meet Dean Andal and cheer his message focused on a strong defense, lower taxes and higher ethical standards for Washington.

To put on the event, the SVARW Board of Directors voted to contribute $500 to purchase food for the event and Janet Chakraborty provided the beverages and her home. SVARW raised the $500 through raffles at our August 2007 Stars and Stripes Gala. One-hundred percent (100%) of the money raised went to Dean Andal! The $4,600 was a combination of ticket purchases for the event, donations received prior to the event from SVARW members and donations from raffle tickets. The raffle prizes donated by SVARW members were fantastic! Barbara Wales donated a Sake Tasting Basket and a basket with Trump Vodka and Caviar. Maria Fischer donated a Greek Dinner for eight. Ken Geiser provided an all day sailing trip on San Francisco Bay and Linda and Frank Chavez donated a beautiful piece of jewelry.

In addition to all the effort that Janet Chakraborty put in, her daughter Sanjita was our bartender. Russ and Jean Glines worked tirelessly in the kitchen along with Gail DeSmet. Carol Joyal, Kyra Hubis and Linda Chavez took care of checking guests in. Maria Fischer and Dottie Stewart sold raffle tickets. Lisa Marshik and Jan Soule helped with set up and clean up. It was truly a group effort!!
