On Saturday evening, December 5, 2009, ninety eight
excited members gathered at the beautiful Grayhawk Golf
Club for BMMC‘s signature social event of the year, “the
11th Annual Christmas Party”.
The members were greeted by event host, Vickie Small at
the reception table where they received their table
assignments. As the guests entered the lovely McDowell
Room the tone was set for the evening by the festive
holiday decorations and the wonderful ambience that only
Grayhawk can deliver.
The evening began with a festive cocktail party, complete
with butler passed delicious appetizers. Everyone enjoyed
the opportunity to socialize with old friends, and meet
new friends. Soon it was time for the guests to be seated
for dinner and tables were called as a bountiful delicious
buffet was presented for their pleasure.
After a leisure dinner, complete with decadent desserts,
president, Ron Small welcomed the members and announced
the evening’s award’s presentation program. The 2010
Officers and Directors were introduced to the membership.
Following the introduction of the Officers and Directors,
it was time for the highlight of the evening, the
presentation of the 5th Annual Lynn & Gerry Snodgres
Member(s) of the Year Award.
This year’s awards were presented to Gene Adee & Tom
Clements in recognition of their many outstanding
contributions to BMMC. Gene & Tom are both currently
serving
their 2nd terms as BMMC Directors. In addition to their
many contributions to the
Club, as leaders, both gentlemen were directly involved in
the development of the BMMC Group Riding Guide and Gene
Adee along with Ray Williams developed the
Ride Captain Guide.
Gene continues next year
as our Rider Training Director and Tom continues as our
Ride Captain Director. We truly appreciate their
contributions, dedication, and support that they have
given to Black Mountain Motorcycle Club.
At the conclusion of the awards presentations, Tom
Clements came to the podium and on behalf of the
membership recognized Ron and Vickie for their
contributions to the club, and presented them with an
incredible gift tribute which was so graciously given by
the Black Mountain Motorcycle Club Members.
It was now “TIME TO PARTY”! The D.J. cranked up the music,
and everyone moved to the dance floor and the party kicked
into high gear. It truly was a magical and spectacular
evening!
We would also like to thank Sally and Ray Williams for
taking all the photographs to remember this special
evening.
