Bill bought a new (used) tuxedo about a month ago. His old one definitely was not going to fit any longer since he has lost so much weight. He bought it without any real plan for wearing it though so I insisted that he wear it to our flying club Christmas party. I felt like I was going to the party with James Bond and I was a Bond girl.
It has been a few years since we have gone to the Christmas party. We were in Hawaii last year. I can't even remember the last time we have attended. The format was a little different this year. The clubhouse is getting to be over 20 years old and needing some updates done. So we had an auction this year to help raise funds including an oral auction for several items. When we first had the clubhouse, they had several silent auctions to raise money to help pay for the building. Bill was in charge of several of those. Fortunately, we are mostly out of the leadership track-at least for the time being.
We sat with our friends, Jeff and Julie, again this year as we usually do. Not sure of the story behind it but Jeff decided he wanted to go to the party dressed like Willie Wonka. So James Bond and Willie Wonka sat together at dinner last night.
Walt Swan was named Member of the Year this year. Well deserved and he is the first member to be awarded for a second time.
It was a fun, festive and well attended event.
