    Just bumping this thread because time is running out to book your spot at the GNR dinner. It's shaping up to be a great event, with our biggest percentage of winners to date slated to attend and receive their certificates in person.

    It was a great night and a very fun event. The folks at Manny's did an awesome job of hosting and I don't think we've ever had so many new GNR recipients at the Awards Dinner before. Over the next few days, I'll be posting a lot more shots but I did want to post this one to start things off (thanks, to our friend Louisa Chu for the idea to take this shot) . . .

    back: Paul from Big Jones, Chelsea from Pleasant House Bakery, Mark from Big Jones, Craig from Bad Apple, Mathieu from Floriole

    Also, a big pat on the back to all the members of the GNR Committee, who volunteered a lot of time and put in a lot of effort to make this event as fun and successful as it was.
