The 2012 Kick Off Party held February 25th at the New England Carousel
Museum was a huge success. Everyone liked the venue so much last year,
that it was decided to keep the party at the same venue this year. The
spacious facility was festively decorated and looked beautiful. The museum
staff was a pleasure to work with in planning and prepping for the party.
Everyone was so impressed with Kensington Market and Catering last year,
we asked them to prepare and serve the food for this years party, and they
did not disappoint. The quality, quantity and preparation of the food
was over-the-top delicious. Once again, there was a bountiful dessert table,
thanks to the many officers and members that baked and brought an amazing
variety of scrumptious goodies.
There
were numerous tables overflowing with raffle prizes. There were so
many raffle prized donated that we ran out of room to display them,
and are saving the overflow to be used at the upcoming shows‘ raffle
drawings. There were loads of raffle prizes for the children, too. Each
child was given a winning ticket when they checked in for the party.

Turnout for the party was great, with well over 110 people in attendance.
Everyone that RSVP’d and renewed their membership received a surprise
gift at the party, a MIM logo soft-sided cooler, look for them at the
shows this summer! This party would be impossible to pull off so successfully
every year without the hard work of the officers (And their families!!),
so THANK YOU! A big Thank You goes out to everyone that helped with the
set up and clean up of the party, to all that so generously brought raffle
prizes and to everyone that came bearing delicious baked treats. Also,
Thank You to all the members that have volunteered at the shows over
this past year, this club could not exist without the members that lend
a helping hand at the events. For those of you that didn’t attend this
years party, you missed out on a great night. What a fantastic way for
the club to Kick Off the 2012 season! |
