"Beer of the Month Club"

Saturday Night in December, sounds like a holiday party. About 350 guests were at Galleria Marchetti for Bovis Lend Lease's annual holiday party.


Lauren and I were set-up out in the tented ballroom area of Marchetti. I was informed by Dennise Murray of Bovis that they needed an outside individual to select the winning tickets for each raffle. There was groups of winners announced every half an hour. I had a lot of fun picking and announcing the names. The winner of the "Beer of the Month Club" was not present, maybe at the bar, but his wife gladly accepted the award on his behalf. To plan was to use the spacing of the raffles to our advantage by sectioning genres of music in between them, but that didn't exactly happen. There was a big demand for hip-hop, so after the second raffle, Lauren hit the Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get It Started" and the place went nuts. We ended up playing tons of hip-hop, which everyone loved up. I really enjoyed playing for Bovis, they were a great group. I loved their great attitude and vibe!
