MAINSHEET Good Friend, New Beginnings http://www.corinthianslhp.com Corinthians of Lighthouse Point Our 52nd Year Number 2 Commodore s Ball Dec 14th change of venue, change of date; but not one change in the fun we had at the 2018 Commodore s Ball honoring P/C Leslie Baron and all Past Commodores. Deer Creek Golf & Country Club had a picturesque outdoor waterfall area where we kicked off the evening before heading inside to the elegant banquet room filled with chandeliers and beautiful floral arrangements by Honeybunch. Corinthians and guests danced the night away to the music of Just Us Orchestra. If this is any indication of the fun awaiting us for our 52nd Corinthian year with P/C Commodore Leslie at the helm, then we won t be disappointed. Thank you to everyone who supported this event and thank you to those who would have supported it had the date not changed. Chair: Bonnie Ducharme. 52nd year NUMBER 2 January 2019 1
Commodore s Report: by Leslie Baron Hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season and are now ready for the New Year. We sure are off to a great start. Every event that we have had since I took office as Commodore has been a great success. Attendance has been overwhelming and your continued support and encouragement is greatly appreciated. A special thanks goes to Bonnie Ducharme and her co-chairs, Sue Nelson and Joann Fairweather, for planning and hosting the most beautiful Commodore s Ball last month. It surely was a gala evening. We have a busy month ahead. So I hope to see you having fun with your fellow Corinthians as we gather together. There are still staterooms available for the Commodore s Cruise March 31-April 7. Please contact me if you are interested in joining us aboard the brand new Nieuw Statendam, leaving from Fort Lauderdale. There is a great crowd already signed up but there is always room for more.
