Commodore's Ball

After a week of decorating and months of planning the ball went off like clockwork. Commodore Don and Judy arrived in a gorgeous old sedan and stepped into the limelight. The other Grand 14 Commodores were waiting for their arrival on the stairs in the lobby, pictures were taken and mingling on the second floor began with cocktails and hors d’ oeuvres. Rear Commodore Bob Myers and Vice Commodore Bob Stettner escorted the visiting Commodores to their seats in the beautifully decorated 3rd floor dining room. P/C Jennerich escorted Don and Judy to their place of honor with the crowd clapping.

The theme of the evening was “Under the Sea,” and mermaids were everywhere. Judy has her boat decorated with the mermaids she has collected and was thrilled with the night. Willie and Peg did a great of job with the prime rib dinner and Didi Law’s band kept everyone on their feet the whole evening.

Nancy had tons of help with the decorating and this is a good place to admit that guys are only there for heavy lifting and should not give an opinion on what is happening while the ladies do their magic. Nancy sent a Thank-You to all she could remember who put so much time into decorating for this event. We hope we didn’t miss anyone.

Plan on attending next year, it’s a great evening at a great club.
