Attitude Adjustment, Round #2

"Mademoiselle Marti"
Inhibitions may suppress various personal attributes including, it seems, artistic flair. Of the numerous compounds believed to relax, or even temporarily remove obstacles to free expression, wine is among the leading choices. 
It is on this joyful notion that "Attitude Adjustment Painting" is founded. Take a dozen wannabe artists yearning for expression, shut them in a room with their liberating libation of choice, arm them with a canvas and paints and watch out!
This was the magical scene on Thursday evening as stiff, stick-like representations subtly morphed into flowing works of wonder as a case or two of wine was absorbed. Check here for more images.

The Spaghetti Auction

In the time honored tradition of Florida Grande, dinner was served promptly the moment it was ready. Spaghetti noodles, rich red sauce, a troupe or two of shrimp and plenty of bread to clean up with. And what about those saucy servers ladling out the calories with gay abandon? Mamma Mia and other assorted Italian exclamations!
As the feeding frenzy subsided, attention slowly turned to the silent auction, ably MC'd by Bob Link. With fifty plus drawings to cover things moved along at a fair clip as the objets d'art - socket sets and all - were eagerly seized by the winners. The evening raised more than $800.00 for future events. For more auction ambiance, click here.

Auction Prelude

For three years now, around this time of year, the Wednesday Spaghetti Night in the clubhouse has been elevated to Oscar-like status by the addition of a Silent Auction. With much of the charm of a genteel garage sale and little evidence of "Silent", this festive affair is a major fund raiser for resort activities. This year, more than fifty prizes donated by residents and local vendors set the scene for another successful and eventful evening.
