Worried about nothing

The dress at the dinner turned out to be "basic casual",  or what we used to refer to as "anything goes".  As it tended to be an older group, and mostly female, this mean slacks and a blouse or sweater. The few men were in dress slacks, and a shirt, except for one gentleman who wore a traditional German felted jacket with buttons and piping.  David was just fine in his black jeans and long-sleeved black T-shirt. The program was pretty basic too.  We were in the restaurant of the country club, at an informal buffet, and while we had a section of the room, it was shared with regular Friday night dinners.  We were offered drinks, and some that came from the cash bar, appeared fancy.  Then we could access the German Buffet, ad lib. When everyone had eaten, and were sitting back over dessert, a lady got up and told us we were there to honour three volunteers: a volunteer of the year, a volunteer of the century, and a long term volunteer.  Each was given a gift basket, and it was over .  Speech and presentation-10 minutes. But, later, thinking about it, the event was quite appropriate to the atmosphere/mileu etc, of the organization--casual but sincere.  I'm glad we went.  We need to be doing things like this more often.

Sunday I'm out to my ATC trading luncheon, and the first of the quilts to be taken to Neepawa are to be delivered.  The rest will be coming within the next few days.
