After awarding the Volunteer of the
Year plaque to Bil, President Mark introduced the main attraction
for the night, The Entertainment Program. First, Mark introduced
out-going Vice-President John W., the evening's host.
Outgoing
Vice-President John W.
Scholarship Award
First, John introduced the Greater Seattle Business Association
(GSBA) scholarship winner, Kevin, who won the $2,000 scholarship
award from Mature Friends. Kevin is a senior in accounting at
Pacific Lutheran University. This is the fourth year Kevin has won
a scholarship.
Scholarship
Winner Kevin
This is the second year Mature Friends has sponsored a GSBA
scholarship. Receiving this scholarship has inspired Kevin to
dream big, live proud, and work hard, even though he grew up in a
conservative family. He has finished his college work in record
time and has assumed a new full-time position with a prestigious
Seattle accounting firm. He thanked us for sponsoring him and
looks forward to a being a friend of ours forever. His speech was
articulate and impressive.
Play with a Cast of Thousands
Then on to a play on words, or more correctly a play with words,
presented by Vice-President John W. According to John, the play is
called
The Tale of the Fearsome
Robber, the Beautiful Princess, the Handsome Prince, and Cast of
Thousands. We first saw it presented by the staff
on our Russian cruise.
It is a typical love story of captured princess, distraught
parents, and the handsome prince on his white horse who saves the
day. But the flowers, butterflies, wild boars, and trees all
add to the enjoyment. As John read the script calling out each
character's name, the actor had to act out his part. Needless to
say, the princess was saved, and everyone lived happily ever
after, . . . at least after they all quit laughing!
You had to have been there.
