SEE 2009 Thanksgiving Get-together @ Roland and Caswell's House

Eighteen of us had a wonderful time at the Slick Rock Thanksgiving Party. Everyone contributed a tasty side dish that complimented the turkey and ham offerings. There was more food that could be eaten, so leftovers was the order to the day. We watched the movie "White Christmas" and chatted for hours.

Here is a link to pictures of this wonderful holiday

Stay tuned for the SEE Christmas Party for 2009. Spending time with friends is time well spent and was fun for ALL.

Please take a moment to view who made the party possible and very fun

Mike McKean: Our DJ (DJ Eggbeater) phone: 303 810 5420 Mike donated his services and allot of time to put together a great variety of mixes for the party. If you are EVER is the market for a great DJ, sound system, and an almost infinite musical choice of styles --- he is the MAN!

Kathy McKean: Our Wine Lady. Kathy provided "great deals" for our wine service. She not only got us wonderful discounts because she buys direct from the growers in CA., she donated at least 1/2 case of wine from her own inventory to the party. Kathy' business is KATHY McKEAN/Wine Shop At Home/DirectorPhone: 720.212-5947 http://www.thewinewranglers.com/ Also for those of you looking for great wine at reasonable prices she can provide, and any of you who LOVE wine + thinking about "recession proofing your lifestyle" this is a real deal business to consider.

Connie and Eduardo Mansour: Remember the "feather lady dressed in black" serving tamales? These guys have a tamale business here in Boulder and not only were their tamales a HIT, they also donated many of these tasty treats to the party. Thank you both very much! If you are looking for a variety of tamales that are filled with organic ingredients and numerous tasty combinations of food this is the PLACE to buy them: http://www.bouldertamales.com/

ESC for the Arts is located at 6560 Odell Pl, Suite B, Boulder, CO. 80301 : The location for the party --- off of Lookout Road and Spine in Gunbarrel. It is a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility conveniently located in Downtown Gunbarrel, with close access to Boulder, Southern Longmont, Niwot and Louisville communities. "ESC houses one studio with a kitchen/art/kids space, dressing room, bathroom and lobby. The Main Studio is equipped with ballet barres, state of the art sub-flooring and beautiful laminate flooring which is a true floating and sprung floor system custom built for dancers. We also have full length mirrors, a stereo systems that is compatible with personal MP3/IPOD players, and yoga and towels for use for yoga or other movement classes". This place is terrific and worthy of everyone's support.

Roland Waters & Jude Bernard: Roland was the food and decorations visionary. Jude executed many of the decorations designs and art renderings including "Humpty Dumpty" Roland was the executive chef who created the tastes and dishes provided at the party, + the entire decoration party design for "Alice in Wonderland" popped out of his brain.

SEE (Sunday Evening Eats) Volunteers: Over twenty five people showed up before the event and after the event to set-up and clean-up for Halloween 2009. This was truly a community effort and event + several people brought finger food desserts for the party that night.

Everyone contributed at least a $10 donation to the party and given the business donations, SEE people volunteer efforts, we pulled off the entire event at a break-even cost! This was a miracle.....thanks to all of you. There were 133 guests who showed up at the party and when you see the pictures it is pretty obvious we ALL had a roaring good time!
