The Annual St. Nicholas Ball was held last evening with 100% of the proceeds given to My Brother's Table............The money driven festivities included a silent and public auction which produced some surprises............A Rockstar fitness Membership was a hot item along with a Swiss Air trip to Europe, tickets to the Lion King ,Bruins, Red Sox and other great items offered by the business community of Marblehead.
A large ovation is due Mary Boucher and her "crew"that put this event together. Oysters, Scallops wrapped in bacon , Thin Sirloin , Music by DJ Lanie Mac and the " beauty of the BYC all added to this perfect evening on the water ...........
It was great to have "quality time with My Daughter, Melissa Sherwood & her Husband, Norm Sherwood.....who certainly know the " lay of the land" in "Old Town"............John Nestor of Nanepashemet fame and "headhunter" Maria Rowen(right) were " on target "........ and gave their varied thoughts on many subjects........My opinion is do not leave the room when they get going........You are then left
"unprotected"........everyone is "free game"........Maria had an innovative way of getting her "items of choice"in the silent auction......namely stake out the table.......and give the "don't you dare look ".......to any potential threat.........It takes time but was effective.......She needed help carrying all her" loot" to the getaway car............
Also seen in the crowd,"Liquor tycoon " Cliff Ansara whose bid in the public auction landed him an evening's use of the Hooper Mansion.........Hope I get an invite to that shindig........... Header Bruce Durkee of the"Marshmallow Fluff " family was the Auctioneer......and he kept the "spirited group"bidding and "upping" the ante..........
It was a great way to raise cash for " The Table".......and have a night to remember...
Thank you all !.....and to all many great nights............
