| 63rd Annual Spring Banquet ULLRS PLUNGE INTO SPRING by Karen Clarke Seventy-eight ULLRs and guests gathered for our 63rd Annual Spring Banquet at the beautiful Minnesota Valley Country Club on Saturday, April 27. Doors were open to the outside so we could celebrate the arrival of spring and even listen to an occasional bird chirping. Joyce Crozier and Bill Kansas entertained us with their romantic music as we mulled around greeting our friends and sharing stories about spring finally arriving. Tables were set with ivory table cloths and peach napkins formed into a flower in each cup. Sharon Marini ordered arrangements from The Flower Box for the center pieces which were fresh-cut flowers colored with spring. Programs were designed with the freshness of a summer rain and rainbow. The lucky person with a “rainbow princess” on the back of the program was the winner of the floral arrangement at each table Diane Erlandson helped us out with her work on the name tags and place cards with special color coding for the three entrees and two special vegan meals served to our ULLRs. Our past president, John Vogt, was the M.C. for the program. He introduced the Interim President of the Foundation, Jerry Weiskopf. Brian Johnson introduced the racing team all of whom qualified for Nationals. Nancy Sand thanked the 2012-13 Board for their service and introduced the new 2013-2014 Board; they being, Cheryl Rogers, President; Mary Ellen Gabel, Exec VP; Jim Maiser, Treasurer; Pam Anderson, Ski Programs VP; Carol Bush, Membership VP; Mary Ellen Goriesky, Summer Programs VP; Marcia Switenki, Secretary; and Nancy Sand, Past President/Advisor. Patty Fitzgerald presented the Western Ski Trip to Steamboat, Colorado. Ole awards were given to: Barb Kolbe, Joyce Crozier & Bill Kansas, Karen Clarke, Sally Chevalier, and Nancy Sand. Patty Fitzgerald introduced the ULLR of the Year Award to, can you imagine, John Stiefel. A much deserved tribute to an ULLR who has served us very well. Jan Cady served as our photographer capturing the evening. Dancing started at 8:30 to the music of “The American Flyer” band. Once again they tickled our toes and we were out there hopping and swinging around until 11:30. As always, when the evening ends, we are happy we have our family of friends to enjoy and celebrate our accomplishments with. Thanks to all who make our club a success. |
