Eventet i NY

Här kommer några bilder från eventet i New York. Dessutom ett litet tacktal från Steve Trygg, som fick ta hand om mottagningen, då Karin på grund av vulkanutbrott var strandsatt i Stockholm.

Samtliga foton är tagna av Katarina Åström:

Steve's hälsning:

Thank you.

I owe the success of the SVIV party at Roger Smith Hotel on April 19 to so many people. Hope I don't forget someone; if so, please remind me. Here goes my thanks, in alphabetical order:

Ulrika Bengtsson - for being so supportive and donating so much, including the venue and a generous gift card
Barbro Ehnbom - for rallying your troops of young helpers, and for helping out yourself even though you weren't feeling well
Karin Ehnbom-Palmquist - for always being full of new ideas and unbridled enthusiasm and encouragement
Eva Engman - for happily being there whenever a (non-remunerated) musical program is called for
Ken Hatfield - for suffering acoustics that could make a strong man weep and amassed Swedes in general
Madeleine Kristoffersson - for using your wonderful voice to remind us of the country where we were born
Sture Lindén - for showing us some of the Old Sture with one of your classics, "Utlandssvensk"; welcome back!
Gunhild Ljung - for all the big and small things you did during the whole process, from list management to door prize distribution
Martha Rodriguez - for being such a delight to work with; I envy you your "no problem" attitude
Karin Trygg - well, for just being the wonderful woman you are; I couldn't have done it without you

I love you all.

Steve
