Monte Carlo Night

I have been referring to this as Monte Carlo Extravaganza in a tongue and check sort of way. As far as BBA is concerned, it IS an EXTRAVAGANZA! The effort and success from our MC committee was just outstanding. We had more donations from members and sponsors than last year and last year was amazing! As I said in my previous post, I needed a second wind. Looking around at the contributions of gifts, food and manpower (womanpower) was inspiring. It made me so proud, so appreciative, and so fired up to get the season moving along.

My wife, Anita, has been the reluctant chairperson of this committee. I needed to pass on the worries and since she is our events coordinator, she got stuck with the worries, the planning and the sometimes the chaos. By the end of the night, everything was under control, running smoothly and quickly cleaned up. She may think I do all the leading at BBA, even though I don't, but Monte Carlo Night was her time to shine and she was shining bright. I am proud of her and I love her. I just don’t tell her enough. (must be a man-thing)

I also want to thank everyone for his or her help in setting up, tearing down and soliciting contributions and donations. And how about all those gift baskets!!! Events like this bring our BBA community closer. (Proud to be BBA!) It gives us a fun setting to enjoy each other’s company and conversation. Kudos’ to all that helped and thank you to those that bought tickets, joined in on the fun and support Bauerstown.
