WHAT A NIGHT OF FUN AND SURPRISES
IT ALL STARTED AND A FIFTIES TRIVIA CONTEST - NO ONE GOT ALL THE ANSWERS RIGHT BUT WE SURE HAD A LOT OF FUN GETTING TO KNOW ALL THE FACTS FROM THAT ERA.
THEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE CAR RACE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT -
INSIDE THE DINING HALL WE HAD EVERYONE JOINING IN TO SEE WHO COULD GET THEIR
CAR TO THE END OF THE TRACK FIRST. EVEN OUR BELOVED ARIZONA DEPARTMENT
LADIES AUXILIARY PRESIDENT DEBI RANKIN TRIED OUT HER EXPERTISE
FROM THE CAR RACE WE HAD THE TWIST CONTEST, WITH WHAT WE CALL THE TWIST WITH A TWIST, OK EVERYONE NOW KEEP TWISTING WITH YOU PARTNER AND KEEP THE BALLOON BETWEEN YOU BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT. WE ALSO HAD TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE STILL TWISTING.
OF COURSE, WHAT WOULD A FIFTIES PARTY BE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A HULA HOOP CONTEST. AT THE END OF THE EVENING WE JUDGED FOR THE BEST DRESSED. PATTI TOMLINSON WON WITH HER DELIGHTFUL DRESSED IN PINK, I THINK IT WAS THE PINK SHOES THAT GOT THE JUDGES ATTENTION.
OUR ILLUSTRIOUS COMMANDER - LEMONTE JACOBSON AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE BARB JOINED IN ON THE ACTIVITIES WITH ONE OF THE OLDIES BUT GOODIES SONGS FROM THE PAST.
JERRY BARR OUR ENTERTAINER NOT ONLY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB KEEPING THE MUSIC AND THE EXCITEMENT OF THE EVENING ON-GOING BUT HE ALSO JOINED IN TO SHOW US ALL HOW TO HULA HOOP.
WE HAVE TO THANK THE MEN'S AUXILIARY FOR DONATING THE MONIES NEEDED FOR THE PRIZES. THERE WERE DINNER GIFT CERTIFICATES, CASH MONIES AND DRINK TOKENS FOR THE WINNERS IN EACH GROUP.
