The tables were set...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fires lit, 

           and flowers adorned the rooms...

 

 

 

The desserts were spread...   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

                          The beverages chilled...

 

 

 

 

 

Smiling greeters at the ready...

 

 

 

 

 

 

               And the Band was in perfect tune...

 

 

 

All our ducks were in a row!

 

 

 

 

                      

As the guests began to arrive....              

 

                                                                                     

 

                                  

         

                                               

                                   

    

                                              

 

                        

 

 

 

 

 

 

                

 

 

 

 

 

     

                                                               

                                       

 

 

 

                                   

                           

                                                       

 

                            

      

 

      

                                 

                                                                         

                                                                                              

 

                     

For all who attended the Library Gala but are not pictured here, my sincere apologies.  Among the missing: the co-chairs of the event, Peg Mead and MaryJane Mangan who were moving faster than the flash could capture. Thanks a million, Peg and MaryJane, what a great event!  If my own picture appears more than most you can blame my wife who should never be trusted with a camera anyway.  Still,  I can't resist giving George Comeau the last word, albeit a smile that says it all:  We are happy at last to share this great Library with every one of you.  Thanks for being there.  -- Mark Lague, Library Director
