This year’s annual Christmas Party was a great success. With close to 200 people in attendance, the Marco Polo room at the Da Vinci was filled to capacity. After a delicious meal was served, hoards of prizes were given out. With help from the Maverick Entertainment DJ, many laughs were had with a number of crowd-involving games. As the night progressed, the karaoke crooners came out and sung a few tunes, and laughs were had by all. This year’s gold prize was also the biggest yet. Celebrating the prize’s 7^th year running, Peter Young noted that there were 134 entries, with a guessed price ranging from a low of $422 to a high of $3000. In the end, Peter Sansekovich, who was not in attendance, won the prize of $135. At the 2008 Christmas party, Peter bet that the price of gold on December 4th, 2009 would be $1158. The closing price of gold that day was $1162. Congratulations Peter! We look forward to next year’s Christmas party, and we thank all of our kind sponsors for the amazing gift donations.
