"Our event at Vesuvio last night was fantastic! The Commissioner’s Club members were raving about the food, atmosphere, wine and the entire evening overall. Many of them expressed that they were eager to return to the restaurant again in the near future. As I’m sure you could tell, they were also thrilled to see Jon. He is such a great, gracious guy and we’re excited to work more with him in the future—please be sure to pass along our deepest thanks to him. I really appreciate him finding time in his busy schedule for PAL.

The crowd at last night’s event is a very important group for PAL…many of our biggest funding partners were in that room. Thank you for helping us create a special evening for them and for Commissioner Johnson. Trust me when I tell you it will pay off immensely in the future for the inner-city youngsters of PAL! We are so grateful to you for being a true friend to PAL over the past few years, and we look forward to many more great endeavors with you!"
