Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
The Manteca Historical Society board of directors wishes to thank all of the many supporters of the 25th annual Gourmet Sampler that took place March 12 at the Senior Center.  
We greatly appreciate the fine effort by those of you who participated with a host of food and beverage samples and others who provided 35 wonderful raffle prizes for the event.  We thank those of you attended and purchased raffle tickets to support this very special fund-raising event for the museum.
 And, special thanks to our tireless team of historical society volunteers who worked hard to make this happen, including our student volunteers from Manteca INTERACT and East Union JROTC.  Thank you to Tipton’s Stationary and Gifts, Guido’s Pizza, and the Senior Center for helping us sell tickets.  Thanks to the City of Manteca for allowing us to host the event at the Senior Center, and finally thank you to our community newspaper, The Bulletin, for helping get the word out about this and many other non-profit events in our area, which helps make fund-raising successful.

Dave Winegarden, President
Manteca Historical Society Board of Directors
