MPS Holiday Party
 
Twenty two Mission Peak Striders members and their guests enjoyed the club's annual holiday party on Sun. Dec. 15 at BottleTaps Restaurant in Pleasanton.  We dined on sumptuous food from the brunch menu  and enjoyed fine wine provided by winemaker Chuck Lee. 
 
Ten individuals took home a bottle of wine from the wine raffle.  This year’s wine raffle had a different wrinkle as the wine came from the personal cellar of late MPS member Carol Turner – ranging from a 2009 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon to “Two Buck Chuck.”
 
In after dinner interviews, we learned about the running careers of Ram Kandasamy and Rajeeve Shankar.
