New Year's 2005 Women's
Banquet (held on December 23, 2004)
A Volga Girl's Arina & Craig Rich
Of the three yearly banquets that the
company sponsors, Arina and I always schedule one of our trips to coincide
with our New Year's Women's Banquet. It's always a very special occasion.
Arina Rich shows us that the stage was set and so was the banquet
table for a special and eagerly awaited evening.
The food at our women's banquets must
be seen to
be fully appreciated. It's really an impressive spread.
This appetizing salad was an unlikely mix of mushrooms, pineapple
and chicken, and was extremely tasty.
Assorted fruits adorned the banquet table...
...as well asssorted vegetables.
Smoked salmon on bread
with a lemon garnishment.
This coldcut tray featured roast beef,
smoked ham and turkey, and a delectable salami.
Our banquet Guests of Honor ...
Julia is engaged to Chris, from Texas.
