After much planning, hard work and anticipation, the Just Friends New Year's Eve celebration at the Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey was declared a success by the band. Kudos to the band management for all the negotiations and legwork needed for such an event.
Here at the front desk are Giovanni (yes, of Giovanni Live Productions), Manager Jack (keeping an eye on the list), Vince and his daughter Megan, and Pat Roth (keeping an eye on Jack).
I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here's a nice shot of the antipasto table. The Sheraton put out a first-class spread, and we were extremely pleased with everything.
Although Mary and John couldn't attend, my youngest daughter Andrea was able to be there, with her boyfriend Dan and, of course, the newest member of the Rat Pack, Theo (shown here rocking the tuxedo).
Here's Vince, celebrating his birthday, and Theodore, celebrating his first New Year's Eve. Is this the picture of class or what?
Many thanks to our friends and family who attended and celebrated with us. I want to especially thank Mr. and Mrs. McGovern, who spent their first New Year as husband and wife with us, and Rick and Irene Woodard, who came all the way from the West Coast by way of the West Shore to attend. Celebrating with our loved ones made this the best New Year's gig yet, and in the words of the prophet Sinatra, "The Best Is Yet To Come."
May we all be safe, sound and still around for New Year's Eve 2008. It's not too early to plan to celebrate with us next year....
