2008 - Ninth Anniversary Party

On Saturday, September 13, 58 CGM members and friends met at the Common Man restaurant to celebrate the group's ninth anniversary. It was the most people we've ever put into this space. As one of the crew members dashing about making sure everything was running smoothly, I didn't have time for much photography. Luckily, Dale did have time. My thanks to him for getting everyone to pose for him! My thanks to the Common Man for having a white ceiling!

The Ninth Anniversary party was titled "A Floral Fantasy". This was Dennis' central piece and it remained on the dance floor throughout the night.
Dennis provided a different floral arrangement for each table.
This was my photo of the day for September 13.

I sat here for obvious reasons. (Peter is sitting here, and the music control is directly behind me.)

Since Dale was taking most of the shots tonight, I just had to catch him enjoying his "break."

Shots like this make me think that Dale is a pro photographer at heart. This shot has not been cropped or retouched; it's just about perfect. I would be worried except that earlier I watched him try to blind himself by looking almost directly into the flash. Poor guy. I sure appreciate the superb photography he turned in this night.
