T'is The Season - Holiday Party (Part 2)


The Toys
I attended my auto club Holiday Party luncheon the past Sunday. Before going I made a stop at Toys-R-Us to pick up an item for the Toys-for-Tots drive. I was so over dressed, however I guess the somewhat empty Sunday morning store was used to customers picking up a last minute toy for an event.  

My outfit choice completely changed on the morning of the party. It was cool (60 degrees) and an off-the-shoulder top was not going to work. Plus there are limited opportunities in South Florida for us to pretend winter, so why miss a change to wear something with a little winter flair. The skirt would have been fine but not the top. My choice was a tan scoop neck sweater (Boston Proper) with a matching ancient Spiegel leather skirt.  

I have a friend that I see at my Palm Beach Business Group meetings and he has a vintage 500 SEL AMG Mercedes (European edition). He has been trying to sell it, so I invited him along for the party. The right crowd and one person there was very interested. Scott is an entrepreneur and always has something interesting going. I have been helping with his latest Jet Ski Lacrosse project.      


Scott and I   
Being a new member (joined in October) I was called on to introduce myself again to the group of about 100. With microphone in hand, I accomplished this with feminine grace in my opinion. I also gave Scott an opportunity to mention his vintage MB and after the lunch and raffle his car was quite the hit. "What am I - chopped liver?"  Several came by for a look and one took a test drive - The car. 

I was seated by a lovely lady and we talked grandchildren, trips and the coming holidays. Her husband is a retired CPA and we three discussed the years previous club events. Some of the car show events are likely to repeat this year and she told me, "I must attend". I will.  

I was very impressed with the groups generosity for the Toys-for-Tots drive and after approached the club president to volunteered to help with this year's upcoming efforts and outings. Why not!

    1. Thanks Diane for the comment. The red car is Scott's and it is a beauty. Going to a holiday party in a vintage red car seem the thing to do.
