February 12th was a fabulous night for young (and older) lovers.  The Carolina Colours Social Committee hosted the 3rd annual Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dance.  More than 50 residents and guests partied late into the night.  The evening started with a “Guess WHo” contest,  Couples were tagged on their backs with names of famous couples.  By asking questions, the couple sought to determine their new identity.   All had a great time.

Chef Katherine prepared a great menu, with hors d’oeuvres passed during the cocktail hour, followed by a 4 course sit down meal.  Salad, caviar parfait, beef tenderloin, roasted asparagus, potatoes and a chocolote mousse dessert, made for great eating.

Chuck Kolb provided 4 hours of non-stop music, with dancing from dinner until midnight.  Who knew that the Carolina Colours contingent had such rhythm and stamina, with a great variety of music played and danced to.  The highllight was a special performance of “YMCA” by our our own Carolina Colours Village People–a show not to be soon forgotten.  With the success of this event, more dinner dances will certainly be in the offing.

Special thanks to all the social committee, Betty Orsega and Kathy Zimmerman for centrpiece decorations, Chef Katherine for a great meal, Ken Gerhardt for coordinating everything, Kitty and Paul for decorating the ballroom, and all our neighbors who attended and made the event a great success.
