Full Description:

The Fremont Rotary and SunInSeattle Productions are pleased to announce that the Guatemalan Nights Party at History House was a terrific event and very successful as the culmination of our Fremont Underground Soup Nights 2003. The party began with a colorful swirl of Baile Folklorico de Mexico, with costumes and dances that drenched the senses with the feeling of Old Mexico. Tasty appetizers of the regions emerged from the kitchen donated by MamasBrownBag lunch service next door. Soups donated by Red Apple and Bouchee were complemented by savory tamales, empanadas and other regional dishes. Ed Hartman's marimba seranaded the guests as they left after the presentation and auction. Mary Clark and Linda Wheeler gave a comprehensive power point slide presentation; Susan McClosky told us about the programs at BF Day school and gave a bit of the school's history. Ole and Rex, Fremont Rotary, acted as auctioneers for the many great items donated to the benefit. Students from Ballard, Roosevelt and Garfield High Schools served, cooked, decorated and cleaned up as part of their community service programs. The Soup Night benefit series brought in enough funds to make our pledge to the Guatemalan Clinics, provide over $800 for food vouchers to BF Day, with a bit left over for seed money for next year's event.
