Commodore's Ball 2016

After 10 years at QCYC, we finally made it to the Commodore's Ball!  This is the club's only formal event, and is generally held in the winter.  As new members, we didn't really know much about the event.  Then, once we heard about it and decided we'd like to attend, we've never been able to, due to vacations, and twice because of family weddings falling on the same day. 
This year the club doesn't have an Entertainment chair on the board, so there was no one to organize the event in the winter.  Once the season got going though, volunteers stepped up to plan a summer event.

Toronto had been in under an extreme heat alert for a few days, so there was some concern about how 'formal' the dress would be if the Great Hall was uncomfortably warm (no air conditioning).  We got really lucky!.  Some showers passed through earlier in the day, and there was a nice breeze by the time we had to get dressed up.  
The theme was 'black and white', even down to the menu  and the band .
Commodore Ron Mazza welcomed everyone and after a great dinner (arugula with black and white bean salad, black angus steak, white potatoes, black and white tuxedo chocolate mousse cake), we enjoyed dancing to the The Black Pearls.
