Commodore's Ball 2010

On October 2nd, QCYC was transformed into a tropical paradise in honor of Commodore and First Lady Nancy Austin. George and Nancy first met on Oahu, thus the Hawaiian-themed Ball. The second deck was transformed into an elegant cocktail lounge--aptly named the Salmon Lounge in honor of the Sassy Salmon--replete with surfboard serving table. The third deck became a sophisticated dinner venue with great food and dancing. From all reports from the sell-out crowd, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

It takes lots of creative and physical labor to put on such an event and we had such help in abundance. I'd like to thank the following for all their help before, during and after the event: Vivian and Gary Johnson; John and Louise Alving; Carolyn and Brian Barton; Michelle Bedner; our Office Manager, Deborah Cobain; Rosemary Collins; Gayle Frisch; Renee Kimes; Margaret Krows; Steffie Marcelynas; Bill McGillin and Cammy Mowery; Dick and Teri McGrew; Tracy and Scott McPhee; Bob and Laurean Myers; Bob and Diane Prestebak; Susie Roberts; John and Lynn Sipkins; Lois Stettner; Stephanie Weiss; Crystal Yates; Willie and Peg and their staff for the wonderful food; Andy Gerde and his bartending crew for keeping everyone in a festive mood; and, Kim Cooper for the beautiful vocal solo for George and Nancy's special song. It would be more than fair to say that the ball would not have been nearly as creative or successful without the help of my wife, Elaine. A BIG thank you to each and every one of you!

The Commodore's Ball is a wonderful event. Mark your calendars now for the 2011 Commodore's Ball, October 1, 2011.
