On Saturday, November 6, 2010, event hosts, Don & Judy Walton and their committee presented the 6th annual Lobster Boil Extravaganza. Don & Judy were recruited at the last minute to host our Lobster Boil Event. They wasted no time in coordinating their committee and moved forward with planning, purchasing and preparing for our November 6th Boil. Cooking and preparation began early on Saturday afternoon as Don & Judy and their 24 hard working committee members gathered at the Legend Trails Community Center to set up for the evenings event. The committee made quick work of setting up the tables, getting the cooking pots prepared, icing down beverages and preparing the food items. Although, it was a lot of hard work, everyone worked smoothly together, finished in record time and had fun doing it. It was a beautiful Arizona evening, as Don & Judy and their committee greeted the 103 excited members. After receiving their name tags, the guests were provided the opportunity to purchase 50/50 raffle tickets from our “famous” raffle lady, Leslie Jensen!! The guests were then directed to the patio for a festive cocktail party. The lively group enjoyed very nice selections of wines, and a great variety of Bottled Beers and soft drinks. As the members enjoyed socializing with old friends and making new friends, they were treated to a selection of light appetizers. While the members enjoyed the festive cocktail party, the hard working committee members were busy behind the scenes preparing the delicious dinner. The fresh Maine lobsters were in the pot, corn had been shucked and was cooking, and the new potatoes were boiling. While the guys were attending to the outside cooking, the ladies were busy in the kitchen preparing a delicious Caesar salad, and all the last minute condiments. Soon hosts, Don & Judy invited their guests inside to be seated for dinner. Ron Small greeted the members and thanked the hosts and committee for producing this great event. Ron then introduced Miss Vickie and she asked the guests to join her in a very inspirational toast. She then announced that dinner was ready and the guests were invited to start lining up for the delicious Lobster Boil Feast. The guests helped themselves to the assortment of delicious food, and then were served a huge lobster that averaged 1.5 lbs. each; that was literally larger than their plate. The guests were amazed at how fast the committee served all of the 103 attendees. The entire group was sitting down and eating in under fifteen minutes. It was a noisy lively group as everyone was having fun devouring their lobsters. There seem to be a least one expert at each table who helped the novices on the proper way to eat a lobster. Everyone mutually agreed that these were the best tasting lobsters that they had ever eaten. Prior to announcing desserts, Leslie Jensen called out the winning numbers for the evening’s 50/50 Raffle. As the committee moved through the group collecting the remnants of the lobster feast, dessert time was announced. The guests rushed to the serving tables and helped themselves to a delicious assortment of decadent desserts. It was now time to PARTY!! The very high spirited guests moved to the dance floor and danced to the music of the evening’s DJ, David Rhineheimer. They danced and danced! It was an amazing magical evening with everyone connecting and having a wonderful time. All too soon, it was time for the last dance to be played. As the guests were departing, everyone was expressing what a special evening it was and just how much they had enjoyed the Lobster Boil. You could feel the closeness of good friends as they said goodnight to each other and headed home with the memories of a wonderful evening. The guests would all like to thank event hosts, Don & Judy Walton for stepping in and taking over the hosting duties of the Boil. Together with their devoted committee, they presented the best Lobster Boil to date.
We would also like to sincerely thank the following committee members for all of their hard work, support, and commitment:
Chip & Kathy Allison John & Dawn Barnett Christian & Patti Belzunce Dave & Sylvia Bethune Tony & Wynette Finocchio John & Shelan Foster Bart & Kelly Iden Roddy & Ruth Levy Dave Long Tim & Judy Manning Loretta Queen Jim Whiting Mike (Wiz) Wesnoski
