Celebrate Good Times, Come on!!!

Lionel Ritchie couldn't have said it any better. Last night was the MGN Gold Cocktail Party and for the first time in MANY years it was seasonally warm and didn't rain!! Hallelujah! With a little help from our friends - Rodney O'Neale, part owner of the Golden Bull Grand Cafe in Gaithersburg who supplied our food; our GA bartenders - Mike, David and Delbert; our server/helpers - Linda, Lauren, Mary, and Allison; my wonderful friend and coordinator of so many events - Debbie Bebee, we were able to enjoy a lovely time. Gold members mixed and mingled, had a chance to visit with Ralph, and just show their common affection for the Maryland football program. James Franklin and Lee and Stacey Hull dropped in along with Jemal and Carla Griffin and Mike and Gayle Lynn, our new MGN coordinator (Mike replaced Mike Mattia) and he has done a wonderful job maintaining the continuity of the program. We are so grateful for our loyal Gold members who have supported us through the years and for those new folks who have just joined. Enjoy the photos below. I wish I had gotten a photo of all who attended but the night really went by quickly. We are very appreciative of all our MGN members and want to make sure that they know that we could not do what we do without your support and that we will continue to strive for excellence each and every day!

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at the MGN GALA and AUCTION at the N. Bethesda Marriott on Saturday, May 16th at 5PM. Check out the website for more details and to see a list of items that are being offered. Get your friends together and buy a table! It's a night of great festivity starting with a cocktail hour silent auction reception, dinner, live auction, dancing, and open bar, not to mention watching Ralph on the dance floor....priceless!!!
