Ladies Night 2009
A brief report from Bro. Dietmar (Junior Warden)
For generations our Brethren, their Good Ladies and guests were invited in hotels to celebrate the social culmination of any Masonic Year: The Ladies Gala Night. Obviously the time for a change had come. Our good experience with a Spanish Dinner in the Restaurant Pozo Quirino in Neuss led our WM Ronaldo to the idea the beautiful cellar vaults of this restaurant could also frame the Ladies Night in April 2009.
Although the event had to be dated at the beginning of the Easter school holidays 37 persons followed the call and we all had a good time in fantastic atmosphere. The cuisine served the most typical Spanish food products and excellent wines accompanied our meal.
Against this background it is no surprise that also our raffle and the auction achieved an unusual great success. Our Charity Steward David, who spurred on the draw and the auction in his well-known professionalism ("Will anyone offer more?), had two peculiarities at his disposal: A bottle of finest Scottish whiskey, donated by WBro. Peter (our WM of the previous year) and a hand-painted plate with the seal of our Lodge, which he donated for the auction himself. A really considerable amount was raised for our WM´s charity.
Thus it became long after midnight before the gala broke up and the satisfied guests found their way home.
WM Ronaldo, congratulations again for your Ladies Night!
