Mike and Marie Yates (Prego) invited CCYC members to their home for an Italian dinner. With Head Chef Marie, MaryAnn McBride (Coelumar) and Mario Taisch (Sea Cara) were co-chefs for an evening of dining decadence, Italian style. Ably assisted by their spouses, Mike, Don and Lori, the chefs prepared a fantastic meal and accommodated the crowd.
As Commodore Bob told Marie:
"On behalf of the CCYC membership, I want to thank you again for all the hard work and dedication that made last evening such a memorable event. If we were in the military, I would nominate you for the Distinguished Service Medal. Everyone was impressed with your ability to not only feed so many with such excellence, but with charm and grace."
"At one point, I heard Mary Ann express surprise at the amount of food that was consumed. If I am an example, no one went home hungry."
"We also recognize the competent assistance that was provided by Mary Ann and Mario as well as the tolerance of Mike to allow the CYCC Horde into your lovely home."
That horde consisted of:
