The President's visit

Last weekend our State President, Charles Trinowski Jr. was in town. On Friday night the North Miami Lodge hosted a dinner that featured Polish food. There was a fruit cup starter (just like they serve at traditional Polish weddings according to the President), kielbasa, pierogies and the works. After dinner they fired up the karaoke machine and several seriously talented singers took turns. They were so good that people actually danced while they sang.

On Saturday morning (bright and early) about 20 of us went on a boat tour of millionaires row - the bajillion dollar celebrity homes on the private islands - and also got to enjoy close-up views of the Miami skyline, Fisher Island and the Port. The weather was gorgeous and we were lucky because the boat had air conditioned seating. After the tour most people had lunch at either Bubba Gump Shrimp Company or the Hard Rock Cafe.

On Saturday evening, our lodge hosted a dinner and dance. Earthshine played until midnight and the dance floor was packed the entire night. The President made a nice speech and seemed quite pleased with the weekend - especially the Polish dinner.
