Crab Feed!  The words bring a rush of excitement to the hearts of Rotarians everywhere.  No comments here on the 'Feed, but some kudos to go out to the organizers:  Melody G Mayer is the backbone of this event; without her we all collapse like a 50 lb sack of wet Jello.  Mel, I cannot tell you enough what you have meant to us.  Beth Walter, Dessert Queen (and yes, I got screwed again this year...), thank you for stepping up to help shoulder the load again.  A spectacular array of desserts...  Paul Schubert, who did the delicate dance to coordinate the affair.  Getting everyone together to pitch in their specialty at the correct time... clearly an art you have mastered.  The big ticket sellers this year: the Mayers who moved over 40 tickets and Dan Skoglund, who did likewise.  Dan also did the seating chart for us, as he has done for a number of years.  A note to those of you who know Dan: he is in hospital awaiting a repair job on his hip.  You might give him a thought (or a card) while he's at Sutter.  Thanks to all of you who participated in this year's event.
 
It was a different format than we're used to: Linda Condon from St John handled all the food ordering, prep and cleanup, so all we had to do was pretty much show up and it looks like we sold almost 370 tickets.  Final results should be ready before too long.  Now a few photos in commemoration:
 
Mel on the run...
 
 
A young couple obviously on a first date...
 
Oops, looks like the thrill is gone...
 
Big hitter from the City...
 
Bartending... share your life story...
 
These folks are having entirely too much fun...
 
More fun...
 
"Miss Crabby, can I have some butter?"
 
People yakkin'...
 
Rotarians!  Don't forget, we're dark on the 21st, returning to City Hall on the 28th.
