COMMANDERS BALL 2018 Grosse Pointe Power Squadron Tars and Tripe February 2018

This year, the 2018 Commander’s Ball was held at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial for the first time in GPPS history. Those of you that missed it………You missed a great time. We had a duet meal of Short Ribs and Chicken Marsala, delicious! The band, Larry Lee and Back in the Day, had the dance floor full most of the evening. Our very own P/C/C Theodore Smith SN received the Annual Service Award & P/C Bill Stano JN received Lifetime Achievement Award.

I would like to say thank you to the committee for helping put the Commanders Ball together. There was myself, P/C Ron Utz, Commander John Sulkowski, P/C Chet & Lt./C Natalie Dunbar, P/C Michael Babiarz, P/D/C Bill & Lt./C Rose Stano, P/D/C John Bennett, D/C Jan Klumpp and P/C Bob Malicki. We have been making plans for months to bring this enjoyable event together. We had to overcome some obstacles this year that we normally don’t have to deal with, but everything worked out. I heard from many people how wonderful the Ball was. The hard work paid off!

I want to thank everyone who answered our call to help the committee with the Ball in anyway, you are definitely appreciated! Those of you that attended, thank you for supporting your 2018 Bridge. We couldn’t do it without you! Thanks again!

See you at the D/9 Conference 6-8 April 2018!
