Details: The day is almost here for the Commodore's Ball - our annual season finale. Members, former members, and their guests, friends and supporters of the club - all are invited to this festive celebration of the past boat club year.
After a season of very casual parties, many (especially, the ladies!) look forward to the chance to dress up a bit. Typically, men wear suits or tuxes (though some even come in jeans), and most ladies prefer evening gowns or party dresses. This year, in keeping with our New Orleans Mardi Gras theme, we're also encouraging colorful masks, beads, feathers, and generally flamboyant attire.
Menu/Schedule: As always, we'll begin the cocktail hour, at 6:00, with an open bar (all evening) - including a couple of classic New Orleans specials - the Hurricane and the Sazerac cocktails. At 7:00, we'll enjoy a dinner of roast prime rib, Caesar salad, twice-baked potatoes and Italian green beans. For dessert, it's cheese cake, Black Forest cake, and coffee, followed by music and dancing, until midnight.
Price and Reservations:
The price will again be $50 per person*. Paid reservations are
required (we must give catering advance notice of how many to expect,
so they can properly prepare).
Reserved Tables/Seats:
Tables seat 8 persons, and seating is generally "sit anywhere you
choose". If you have a party of 7 or more, and
would like us to reserve a table for you - and, if necessary, additional
seats on the near side of the adjoining table - please let us know, and
we'll do our best.
Invitations: If you didn't receive a mailed invitation, but would like to come, you are invited (we didn't have a correct or current postal address for everyone).
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Kathy Dalby or Brian Dusek.
* - FYI: The $50 per person price is all spent on the Ball - not on any other events or projects, nor is it used to fund the next season. We attempt to essentially "zero out", at the end of each season.
