Auburn Post 84 hosts 2005 Christmas Party

 

The Area 1 Vice Commander was "Chief Cook and Bottle Washer" at the Auburn Post 84 2005 Christmas Party. It seemed no matter where I looked, Court Bradbury, Area 1 Vice Commander, was involved.

When I first arrived at the Post,
I found Court in the kitchen with Josephine Handy preparing the food.

 

I went to circulate around Post 84's activities room and found a lot of folks enjoying themselves,Playing the guitarPlaying the piano
from playing the guitar, or the piano, or to simply listening to the fine music.

 

Folks were indeed enjoying themselves



Wherever I went...

Folks were indeed enjoying themselves ...


Some even sharing a festive toast, or two.

 

The large room was filled with sounds of people at play,

Bill quickly adjourned the meeting after introducing guests


When Post 84 Commander William "Bill" Chelonis called the meeting to order, a very impressive buffet table of food was already gathering a crowd.

Bill quickly adjourned the meeting after introducing guests, District 31 Commander Bob Richard (Post 169), and District 31 Vice Commander Del Mazankowski (Post 192).

 

Vice Commander Bradbury was helping Ken and Margaret Vogele sell raffle tickets



With a full belly, the next thing I knew, Vice Commander Bradbury was helping Ken and Margaret Vogele sell raffle tickets, and I could swear I saw him in the kitchen doing clean-up.

 

A man of many talents

Thanks to Area 1 Vice Commander Court Bradburyand all of the members, and guests of Post 84, and the Post 84 Auxiliary Unit.

It was a very merry Christmas dinner.
