After socializing (see Over the Top Part One), it was time for dinner. The theme in the room was “Fire and Ice”. Helping make some tables appear hot and some cold, were the amazing flowers from Citti’s Florist.
Dinner’s entertainment was close-range comedy magician, Phil Ackerly. One of his tricks included showing how to turn a dollar bill inside out.
After dinner we had a keynote speaker and raffle. There were many great raffle prizes, one top prize was a year’s membership into The Captial Club.
In the above photos, you can see the reactions of Christopher Citti (who was emcee for most of the night) along with Silicon Valley Nace President, Jennifer Dahlen (Santa Clara Convention Center) who helped with the raffles. The stunned winner was L.T. Beaton (Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club). I really like how the emotions came out in that sequence, it just goes to show you can find emotional moments anywhere.
As we left we were treated to the sounds of The Magnolia Jazz band (composed of Robbie Schlosser (bass), Gary Milliken (clarinet) and Andy Norblin (guitar).
