GM's Black Tie Dinner, February 11, 2012, Saturday

On February, 11, 2012, Saturday, we had the GM's Black Tie Dinner at the Breezy Bend Golf Club.
Elected and Appointed Officers were invited to the Dinner.
VWB Wayne Hadfield, Grand Organist, provided the entertainment. In this picture, he is playing during the cocktails hour before dinner.

This year, we also invited the DDGM's.
Here we have, from L to R: RWB Earl Glinter, DDGM of the 13th Masonic District; Lady Arlene Glinter; Lady Carol Hadley, wife of RWB Al Hadley, DGM.

All smiles from L to R: RWB Junn Manalang, Grand Director of Ceremonies; VWB Bert Manalang, Grand Standard Bearer; Lady Lisa Manalang, wife of RWB Junn; and Lady Tina Manalang, wife of VWB Bert.

Everyone enjoyed the beautiful music provided by VWB Wayne Hadfield. He was a one-man band with his electric accordion and various equipment.

Someone's clowing around behind VWB Bert and Lady Tina.

This is a lovely picture of a lovely couple.

VWB Ron Hall, Grand Pursuivant and his Lady Rosanne.









The other DDGM who attended was RWB Sherman Elliot. It is always great to see him. Beside him is his Lady.

Canapes and finger foods were courtesy of RWB Al Hadley, DGM, who is the President of the Golf Club.

VWB Wayne Hadfield provided very wonderful music.

The table of the DGM, RWB Al Hadley and his Lady Carol.

Here is a picture of the whole room.

For some reason, the GM got in between RWB Bernie Gross, Grand Historian, and his Lady Carol.

This is the better picture with everyone in their appropriate position.

The JGW's table

Beautiful table centerpiece.

Each Lady was given a rose. It was the weekend before Valentine's Day.

I wonder what RWB Bernie Gross is thinking as he watches VWB Wayne Hadfield play the accordion.

Maybe RWB Bernie Gross was thinking of the Tarantella. VWB Wayne played the song and Lady Carol Hadley and RWB Bernie Gross danced the Tarantella.

VWB Gord Greasley and his Lady Karla dancing to the wonderful music.

Maybe this was the Tarantella.

Again, Lady Carol Hadley dances to the lively music.

The audience applauds the musician and the dancers.
