Urban Farmer & The Nines: Ultimate Hosts

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Special thanks to our LPAA Happy Hour hosts tonight: Urban Farmer and The Nines. As always, outstanding wait staff and interesting and fun food – and just a warning, the happy hour moonshine drink is *ahem* strong! Leadership Portland Alum Laura Van Daal even donated a night stay at the fancy pants Nines to the winner of the drawing of the class with the largest turnout.

After all the class of 2008 smack talk, they only had one class member show up. I’ll pause here so you can all scoff….congratulations to the Class of 2005 with the most participants, and Heather Busse, winner of the stay at the Nines.

During the evening, we were all discussing who the next prize donor should be – we’ve had two hotel donations from previous class member (thanks to the Portland Marriott and The Nines). My suggestion to Elia Popovich, 2005, and Foster Pepper attorney (hint, hint) was an hour of legal services. Maybe two.

I proceeded to ask him two questions and he told me my bill for $300 was in the mail. Just like an attorney.

We hope to see you all next time, and of course, prize donations are always welcome to info@leadershipportland.com, and we’ll work out the details.
