Cruise and Entertainment By: Jim Sarpolus Jimbo and Anna Sedgwick Cruise Captains Matthew and Jenee Worman...Entertainment Committee Chairpersons Past Events in November: November 2, 2013 Halloween Party, Hosted by Grimes/Coffland/Lomax. The hosts did a superb job of decorations in and around the club house. The band and entertainment was excellent and all the food hit the spot... The Kids costume winners was Devin and Emelia; the adult winner was the backward couple, Jack and Lynn McKinnon. All those that could remember, said they had a wonderful time. Those that could not remember the evening before and what all happened were told they also had a grand time too! November 16, 2013 Shaken-not Stirred-James Bond Party (Casino Royale) Hosted by Lomax/ Sarpolus/Sedgwick. This event turned out even better then expected for a first time event. The lovely Anne Sarpolus was our receptionist at the door with the Lovely Anna Sedgwick as our cashier; Aaron Lomax managed the ticket sales with his lovely assistant and lovely Kellie Cowell. Dennis Henline was one of our dealers too. The Champagne and Martini bar was a huge hit with Rachel tending the bar with a good assortment of flavored Martinis to go around. Servers were Shea and Sadie with ample trays of goodies going around. The Casino tables were kept busy all evening too for those who enjoyed the games and challenges. We want to thank all our Hosts and all the help from the Lomax clan, Grimes, Sedgwick s and Jeffrey s for decorations and clean up the next day. This was a terrific evening for all those who attended and we give our thanks to all those that helped make this event a wonderful success. November 30, 2013.
