The party was so much fun! Thanks to Joe T for all the preliminary work leading up to it! And thanks to Shawn and Joe for MC'ing it together!! Loved having the Bus Song back.
I think the baskets were a great idea and I couldn't believe how many we ended up with - thanks to all who contributed!! I even took home a nice stash of Godiva home thanks to Jack and Joanne.
As always the Dubious awards were very entertaining. Thanks Shawn for all the time you spent putting them together! And it was so nice of Prez Jay to remember his board- that hat rocks!
Thanks to Jim, Greg and Matt for creating pleasant holiday music for us to enjoy.
What a great time!!!!! I love this club! =+grouphu9
