Third And Long

Saturday night was the Annual Coast Ambassador dinner. My third annual dinner in two years. The math doesn't really work out, just trust me.

Took me a while to get to the Plaza in downtown. An accident and increased traffic due to the Lil Wayne concert made the commute a little brutal. The gala was being held on the 35th floor of the hotel, and although the seating arrangement was awkward (pretty much 8 tables in a straight line), the view was amazing.

This year the social committee opted to go with a buffet rather than set dishes. Great choice, the food was delicious and filling.

During dinner, they had a drawing for 50/50. As a last minute decision, Glo convinced me to buy some tickets. After purchasing $10 worth of tickets, when I returned to my seat, Norm offered to chip in for the tickets, what a pal.

Dawn read out the winning ticket, to my surprise I actually had the winning ticket! Score one for lady luck. The prize was 200 smackaroos, with the other $200 going to the CAAP charity.

Throughout the night, they called ambassador's names to claim their prizes. I wanted the Whistler / Interior / Island packages, but all three were taken by the time my name was called. I ended up taking the $100 Shore Club gift certificate. My Valentines day is now planned.

The annual dinner, as always was loads of fun. It was great to see some co-workers which I haven't seen in months since I only work weekends at Coast. There wasn't enough time to talk to everyone, and doesn't look like I'll have another chance for a long time, if even that.

Thanks Coast, for planning out my Valentines day, and for the memory filled night.
