As always, a select local nonprofit organization was the beneficient of the drawing ticket sales and this week it was Wilmington Downtown, Inc. Below is WDI's Executive Director John Hinnant, holding an enticing stream of tickets.
These guys were nice enough to turn for a photo: Paul Whitehouse of Lopermedia, Steve Haughey of Worldwide Express, and Robert Johnson of Cafe, Inc. Robert's wife has recently accepted a 14-month assignment in the U.K. so they're about to move - and he can't get a work visa so perhaps he'll spend his time searching for places like Caprice Bistro.

Paige and Curtis doing the raffle drawings (Well, actually Paige is waving. Notice that Curtis is holding a copy of The Passion Test, which I gave away along with a gift certificate for a free pass to our Passion Test Workshop this weekend at the Holiday Inn Express on Van Campen - phew, talk about a shameless plug!). Christine Giampetro of Green Cleaning Technicians looks on.

John Hinnant with Pat Moity, who with her husband Chef Thierry Moity, is the owner of Caprice Bistro. John told me that Caprice Bistro is his and his wife's premier "date night" spot.
Thanks again for the good turnout and thanks to Pat and Thierry for hosting such a fine event.
