RECAP of St. Patty's Party courtesy of John Shelby Wells  #25672

Mike & Norma Arons hosted and the food was varied, plentiful and scrumptious;
President Ross James presented Norma with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and he brought green carnations for each of the ladies present !
 
The Lincoln Park contingent (Kathy Sandham, John & Sue Ellis, Scott Scarafile and Joe Sabina) brought their usual smiling faces and cheerful demeaners in stark contrast to their gripping stories of the flooding in their neighborhoods.  John grinned broadly when he saw Debbie Herman walking in with her freshly baked Irish Soda Bread.  Sue gave several of us lessons in how to navigate Facebook and not become a security risk.  Joe regaled us with stories from days of Jaycee yore as he held court in the living room area.  Scott demonstrated his regained nimble acrobatic prowess with his new right hip and eased Shelby's mind concerning his next probable medical adventure.  During the evening Kathy announced her willingness to host our 2012 Super Bowl Party, if the NFL will be even playing ? 
 
The shore area was represented well as Dick & Joan Thomas drove up from AC territory and participated in the festivities as well as an ongoing MAI 2012 planning session throughout the evening. 
 
Central Jersey attendees included MAI 2012 Chairman Bob Neumann and Past Senate Prez Mel Fickas who were present without their better halves and also delicately balanced St. Patty's merry making with serious MAI matters.  Ron & Barbara Hepburn became involved with the group who spent a solid hour or so trying to determine if the current political opining of "you really don't have to do anything" was as atrocious a bald faced lie as it used to be in our previous Jaycee/Jaycee-ette lives.  While Reggie Slaten walked from kitchen to living room to the bar and then back to the dining room insuring that all was well, Claudia presented us with a reminder of her youth in the form of a box of "Irish Potatoes" straight from the Pennsylvania General Store.  Even though they look exactly like small potatoes, they are actually a confectioner's delight with a coconut cream filled center covered with a coating of cinnamon.  Jim & Jan Rose shared in all the fun & frolic and then volunteered to host this year's summer social/election.  Date will follow soon.
 
Alisa Hodowanec and George Muniz (interesting tales of his recent retirement after 30 years as a pipefitter) took honors as the last to leave concurrently with Shelby & Debbie.  We were assured that President Ross was bedding down for the night.  Before we went out the door, Ross said he would soon provide the date for an Open House up at Camp Jaycee.

Thanks to Joe Sabina for the pictures from the social.
