Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s extravaganza at Union Station to raise money for the revival of the Welcome/Mizpah arch! It was a great time, and an excellent way to experience how Union Station can once again become the thriving hub of Downtown. As a board member of Union Station Advocates, I’m thrilled we were able to have such a great turnout and raise a bunch of cash for a great civic effort. Extra kudos to USA co-chair Dana Crawford for her masterful organization and execution of such a major event, and to my fellow USA board members and the hundreds of volunteers and contributors who made the evening a success.

Joel Warner at Westword has a nice recap of last night’s festivities. Thanks, Joel!
