That scamp Jon Montgomery tries to steal our beautiful pledge
dinner food from the Narthex |
Pre-dinner entertainment featured bluegrass music
from Eddie, Kathleen and Robert in the Fellowship Hall (not shown,
missing red wine) |
Robert, Eddie and Kathleen again--note the view of
our beautiful grounds out the window--our labyrinth will be back there! |
The corner where the red wine was, featuring happy
church members |
Austin looks happy, but that's because HE finished
the red wine |
Danny and Wes, one of the post-dinner acts, joined
Eddie and the pre-dinner gang for a few numbers as well! |
Two of Austin's finest musicians, Danny Santos and
Eddie Collins |
OK, enough singing, when do we eat?? Ahem, the THEME
to this dinner was music! |
George (Mr. Facilities Committee) and John P. (Our
Prez)
laugh as Subhash tries to take over the photo--the guys behind them are
having even MORE fun... |
According to Jon, this group (George, Franklin, Greg,
John P. and Jon) was fueling up for the men's retreat in a few weeks. |
Patty (RE Admin), Mary (OWL teacher), John Iacoletti (Treasurer) and Tere (Asst. Treasurer) shared fellowship and fun |
Greg gently leads Scott C. away from the delicious
vegetarian offerings..."you've had enough, pal." |
Loretta passed out raffle tickets during dinner,
after she washed the feta cheese off her hands! |
The room was beautifully decorated and the Greek food
dee-licious |
Allyson, one of our Girl Scout volunteer servers,
makes sure Joyce has plenty of water to drink |
The grand finale was Treasurer John I. singing that
famous UU money song, "Stairway to Heaven," backed by Kathleen
and Eddie |
They got down and were rather funky, uh huh. |
Our event planner, Janet, explained about the grape
leaves to Danny |
Scott O. enjoys the beautiful, huge new church
kitchen as he helps with the inevitable postprandial clean-up. |
John I, Tere and Austin get ready for the post-dinner
show. Behind them is one of our comfort rooms--mothers with active
toddlers or colicky babies can still enjoy our services in style! |
After dinner, Pres. John talked to us about how much
he loves Live Oak |
Then George gave one of his famous PowerPoint slideshows, with a
ghoulish seasonal twist |
Jeff (post-dinner entertainment) and Bill relax in
the sanctuary, secure that they did a wonderful job getting the sound
system set up. |
Sue Ann (Ms. Webweaver) had the camera wrestled from
her before the entertainment started |
Jeffrye Tveraas was our first post-dinner performer |
This shot gives a good feel for what the new sanctuary stage is like
for musical performances |
The boy gets really intense on "that blues
song" |
And Danny wrapped up the night! |
