Boys Club 100th Anniversary Awards Dinner

Greenwich Boys Club 2010 Youth of the Year Camryn Ferrara with 1971 Boy of the Year and Greenwich Parks and Rec. Director Joesph Sicliano tonight at the 100th Anniversary of the Boys Club and 42nd Awards Dinner.

A StrongStrong SINCERE sense of gratitude...not only from Camryn here with Don Palmer in this image...but from ALL who were honored in the past at this 're-named' Boys and Girls Club. The club used to be called "The Boys Club". It was suggested tonight that 'you dont know how much better it is now that you have 'girls' here.

Beautiful Cakes! As if it were a competition between the two of the Central Greenwich Bakeries...Saint Moritz and Black Forest Pastery...Versailles could be a future third cake. I'm sorry, I don't know who made which cake...both spectacular...and all three bakeries are delicious.

How many TREES went down during our recent Wind Storm? 500, 700, 800 ... ? "Wind is caused by an area moving from 'higher' pressure to 'lower' pressure, as stated on Channel 162, National Geographic TV. So that's what happened. As I was writing this 'blog'...the 'air pressure info' was being broadcast from NatGeo...very timely. It's time to plant a lot of trees to make up for the loss.

Look at the beautiful wood in this Girls and Boys Club room. A long table...covered with framed photos...most of the photographs from decades ago.
