What a Pot Luck Party!!!

If you weren't there last night, you missed truly spectacular food, 



great music 

-         thanks to Bobby Moorhead's   
         DJ-ing 



and singing by one and all - 


and good company.

Thanks go first to the Pot Luck Planners:

Seen in last year's photo

Debbie Gonzalez, Lydia Pitsirilos, and Maxine Soares,

who with grace and competence put the party together, did the entire set-up (with help from Rosa Delgado) and beautiful decorations, and oversaw every detail all evening.  Catering isn't their business, but you sure couldn't tell it from the smooth flow of the evening.


Thanks to Marie Squerciati and her good friend Oliva who staffed the "welcome" desk, signed everyone in, gave out name tags, collected money, directed people who were bringing food and drink - and brought a hot dish to share as well!
