Attitude Adjustment - Round III

One of the most popular pursuits at Florida Grande is the "Attitude Adjustment" painting class, always fully booked and usually with a wait list. The third outing this season was no exception.
Fifteen young lovelies settled in to exercise their painting prowess under the watchful guidance of Gruppenfuhrer Marty Whitney. In just two hours, the attendees each produce a finished piece of artwork while skillfully multi-tasking with a liter or two of wine.
See here for a private viewing of these unique works.

Third Annual Florida Grande Silent Auction

It seems almost no time at all since the previous Silent Auction but, here it is, another entire year having slipped by almost unnoticed.
Happy hour provided an opportunity for diners to inspect the loot and plan their strategies. Then, per tradition, a nourishing dinner was served and this, along with the occasional adult beverage, mellowed the crowd nicely. Once dinner was done the auction got underway producing another large crop of lucky winners.
