On February 5, 2006, the VFR held its annual banquet with a twist. This year’s event was held on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone in attendance seemed to enjoy this luncheon style banquet, which was not short on great food – a VFR tradition! For those who had never visited the Washington Crossing Inn, the daylight time of the banquet afforded the luxury of easily finding the Inn. Foremost on the agenda was the installation of the VFR Board of Directors and officers for 2006 – 2007. Nine of the twelve directors were in attendance as shown in the above picture. Marty Watkins was officially installed as VFR President. Also installed were Woody Rohrbach, Vice-President, Andy Jacoby, Secretary, and Joe Mosteller, Treasurer. Awards were also presented to deserving recipients, with distinguished service awards going to Dan Reed and Barbara Coleman, and the John Fisher Memorial Goddess Award going to the VFR webmaster extraordinaire, Pat Caruso. In addition, Mike Barruzza was presented a plaque commemorating his years of service to the VFR as President. During dinner, those attending were surprised by a “pop quiz” by our resident teacher, Nancy Hotz. Nancy handed out paper and pencils to everyone, then asked 15 questions, all centered on popular culture during the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. Extra large candy bars were handed out to those finishing with the highest scores. All however, were kept “after class” to enjoy the rest of the days festivities. Also handed out were door prizes, and the beautiful center pieces, arranged by Andrea Jacoby, which adorned our tables.
Past CLC President and current CLCMRC President Richard Sills and CLC Treasurer Larry Lesiger fresh from the CLC Winter Board Meetings in Las Vegas, shared their thoughts in general about the meetings and the status of the national club and the CLC Museum progress. Their talks preceded one of the highlights of the day, our annual brown bag auction. As in every year, everyone had fun exchanging whatever was brought. The good, the bad, and the ugly! The most popular item was a 1- ½ foot Gas Pump, which dispensed an adult beverage other than gas!
Much credit and thanks go to Barbara Coleman, who coordinated this event and did a SPECTACULAR job! |
