I want to say thanks and a big hearty one at that. So THANKS to everyone who helped with the Holiday Party in December. Bill Lake, Joan Landis, Joyce Yamada all served on the committee, rounded up nice gifts from the local merchants, and were there for decorating, organizing, cleaning up, errand running and everything else that needed to be done. It wouldn't have happened without them. Thank you, also to Aaron David Cole, who was our official photographer, and to those who donated prizes.
It was great fun! We had a wonderful entertainer who juggled and balanced and tossed in such amazing ways, we were mesmerized by his wit and ability. Daniel Holzman, is a record holder in the Guiness Book of World Records and has appeared three times on the Tonight Show. Very impressive!
The table decorating contest entries wowed the diners with creative interpretations of our theme, "Art". (what else?) First prize went to Joan Landis for her tabletop rendition of "The Boating Party", complete with costume, tiny boat, a river made of ribbons, and a little black dog (stuffed). She set quite a standard for the future. The other entries were all wonderful, creative, and imaginative. There will be photos posted soon.
There were many winners of raffle prizes, door prizes, silent auction bidders and live auction bidders. Thank you one and all for dropping dollars into the bucket to make the evening a success.
Don't miss the event next year. It's a major fundraiser for our budget, and a big hoot to boot! We will announce the theme soon to give everyone plenty of time to come up with extraordinary table decorations for next year.
