[nfbwatlk] Great Party In Seattle

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Well, I see that no one has posted here yet on the results of the holiday party for the Seattle chapter.  Perhaps we're all too full of food, or something else.  (smile.)

Let's just say that the whole thing was excellent.  Mike Mello, Andrea Travis, Toby (sorry can't remember your last name), Kay Burrows, and most definitely the caterers from "See what you're cooking", or if that's not the name, somebody fix the advertisement (grin._ deserve a tremendous and heartfelt thank you for everything that the party had to offer. The room was packed, and there was some overflow into the fitness center,  (ironic isn't it).  The fellowship was just outstanding, helped along in my case at least by the bar and bartenders, whom I've already named. But really, I enjoyed seeing a lot of friends and Federationists, and that helps during the holiday festivities.  We missed a few folks, but certainly they would have had to squeeze in as did we all.  The turn out was tremendous, and I believe everyone had a good time. Rita Szantay scrupulously collected money, which I'm sure she'' pass along to the treasurer and/or president.

The food was outstanding and plentiful.  There were even take away trays, or as we know them "to go boxes" or in some cases, "doggie boxes". No one went home empty handed, (unless he/she wanted to).  Kay B handed out goodie bags to all who had attended.  Felt just like a birthday party for my kids. The conversations were myriad, and generally the celebration was outstanding.

Again extreme kudos to the party planners/implementers.  I for one enjoyed it all.
