Hi, Party-Goers!
We will be setting up for the Chinese New Year Cocktail Party at 10:00 am Saturday morning. If you are available to help with tables and chairs; tablecloths; paper goods, etc. we’d appreciate a few minutes of your time. We are usually done in an hour.
The theme of this party is “CHINESE NEW YEAR”. If possible, please bring an appetizer or snack with an oriental flair!
If you need ice to keep things cold; or a warming tray to keep things hot, please bring them with you because we do not have enough for everyone. The same is true for SERVING UTENSILS!! And please TAKE HOME YOUR SERVING PIECES AT THE END OF THE PARTY OR WE WILL THROW THEM AWAY.
We will have paper goods, ice and water. All other beverages are BYOB.
We will be holding our usual 50/50 RAFFLE.
We will hold the car auction for the Waterway Isles 15 Races to take place during the Daytona 500 Party on Sunday, February 24th.
For those of you not familiar with the history of racing in Waterway Village, a brief lesson: It started with Ray Heckman making adorable wooden horses for our Kentucky Derby Party two years ago. Charlie Spadora made the track and got the dice; Arlene Nelson got the betting program ”BACKYARD BOOKIE” and we had a fantastic Kentucky Derby Party. There were owners and stables; jockeys and silks; horse’s names and lineage; Kentucky Hot Browns and Mint Juleps; and, oh yes, betting!
That went so well and everyone had such a great time!! So Ray said, “I have some extra wheels just laying around. What about cars?” And so, the INDY 500 Party was held last May with owners and corporate sponsors; and sports car names; and drivers; and chicken dinners; and, oh yes, betting!
We will auction off these six beauties with the bidding starting at $10.00. The total purchase income from the sale of the six cars becomes the prize money for the owner of the winning car in the Owner’s Cup Race. The new owners will decide the make and model of their car; its features; sponsors; driver; corporate name, etc, just as they do in the racing circuit!! The day of the races (there will be 4 in all) we will have some “friendly wagering” based on the information supplied by the owners!
If you have ANY questions, do not hesitate to call Arlene Nelson at 772-539-9127; or Lauretta Spadora at 772-562-8065.
Have a great day! See you tomorrow!
The Social Committee
