What a Night!!

Starlight Cruises was the venue of the Annual Dinner of the Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin. It was certainly a time to celebrate this past year's leadership, award winners and accomplishments, and a time to look toward the future.

With record breaking attendance, and the most amount of men I have seen at an annual dinner, we started the evening with cocktails on the upper deck enjoying the magnificent view of Clearwater Harbor. We then proceeded downstairs to enjoy a diverse and tasty menu..My steak was fantastic, although I was actually delivering my incoming president's message, so I missed dessert!

Sharon kicked off our evening with recognition of the existing Board, introduction of the new Board, introduction of the new actives, recognition of Becky Cole for 20 years of service (complete with a present in a blue box and a terrific slide show containing comments from past-presidents). recognition of years of service, presentation of our annual awards, and messages from Sharon and me.

After patiently waiting until the meeting was adjourned, the dance floor was hopping---we are definitely not a shy crowd!

I have heard nothing but great feedback and this was certainly a wonderful event. Thank you to Arrangements for putting the adventure together for us:)
