All those months of planning paid off with what one first-time Suds & Buds partygoer called "an A+party." Among the hundreds of guests enjoying the May 18 party at Norfolk Botanical Garden were Susan and Marty Einhorn of Wall, Einhorn & Chernitzer, our presenting sponsor, and Peggy Beale of Paxton Company. The fourth-annual party with a purpose was sponsored by our Rotary Club, the garden and Young Audiences Arts for Learning Virginia. Proceeds will benefit all three organizations. 
Major Jim Allison, Area Commander for the Salvation Army of Hampton Roads, presented Norfolk Rotary with the Salvation Army's Doing the Most Good award. This award honors individuals and organizations who have made a difference in improving the quality of life. Accepting the award on behalf of the Club is President Gary Boswick (r)
