FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2018 7 By Cindy Graves Well, paradise lost has been found again, now that the year and a half Ballroom renovation is complete. We celebrated the Ballroom Grand Opening with the finest cut-plastic glasses available, filled with sparkling fountain water. The giant green scissors cutting the yellow construction tape seemed appropriate too, considering the amount of "green" the builder put into the construction. Upon entering the beautiful new Ballroom, one can't help but notice how much larger the dance floor is. It's a lovely light wood perfect for 300 people on the dance floor (I'm just guessing). The new carpet is a swirly two-toned pattern initially picked out by our famous interior designer Terry Fears with calculated carpet elements by Willis Fagan. This pattern should do a bit better job hiding the inevitable spills that occur. How fortunate we all were to celebrate this long-awaited occasion with an evening of laughter and fun with one of our favorite game show hosts, Gail Lindeboom. The new room performed perfectly as the ultimate container for facilitating good times with good friends. Great event Gail! I want to thank you all for your unbelievable amount of patience over this very long season, enduring all manner of inconvenience. You did, however, prove once again that in spite of difficulty, character prevails… and some of you are quite the characters. Many thanks also go to Saphire Rhodes, Assistant General Manager and Amy Bardos, Project Coordinator, along with the various folks from Facilities Committee, the techies, Len Tavernetti, BOD President and finally Kevin Metcalf, KHOV Board Director. Over the many months, they have dealt with every possible challenge that could be dealt with, including me… sometimes ranting, sometimes wasting perfectly good Kleenex, but all the time hopeful that in the great "by and by" some semblance of normalcy would return and paradise would be re-found. Thank you all for everything. I love stories with happy endings. Danya O'Harra, Cindy Graves, Saphire Rhodes and Amy Bardos, FirstService staff members, cut the ribbon to open the renovated Ballroom It Finally Happened… The Ballroom is Open and Ready for Business!
