On Thursday Feb. 18 the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce performed a Ribbon Cutting at High Finance. This was to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and recognize us as new members in the Chamber. The Chamber Ambassadors were treated to an excellent lunch and joined in on the Champagne Toast. Members of the media and Louis Abruzzo, President of Sandia Peak Ski and Tram, were in attendance. Louis spoke about his relationship with the restaurant owners, Doug Smith and Russ Zeigler over the course of thirty years, and his first job out of college was working on the lease for High Finance.

Valentine's weekend is fast approaching. Since Valentine's Day is on a Sunday why not come up for dinner on Friday or Saturday? The crowds will not be quite as big and the food and views will be just as good. You might want to try Monday, since it is President's Day. We will also be open for lunch on Monday and there will be skiing.
The chef has some wonderful specials for the whole weekend. He has even has a romantic dinner for two. The Valentine's Specials and Dinner for Two are posted under the Menu Header.
We hope to see you Valentine's Weekend!

A lot of really big thank yous go out: Sarah Palmer from CYFD who did a marvelous job of getting out the invitations and taking reservations, High Finance & Sandiago's 30 volunteers and their families who came in on their day off, US Foods for donating much of the food and Sandia Peak Tramway for giving the kids and their families a special rate on the tram.
Two TV stations ran stories about the dinners. The links to those stories are pasted here:
