Congratulations Lisa & Steve!

Ken and I so enjoyed attending the party to celebrate the engagement of Steve Hilbert and Lisa Iland earlier this week.  They were both glowing with happiness and Lisa looked the beautiful bride in her elegant ivory party dress.

It was fun to run into friends, some of whom I had not seen for awhile including Steve's mom, Stephanie Hilbert, Koryn Rolstad, Michael Greer, Sue Beller and Ashley Baerwaldt.

Ashley is now more than mid-way through her year as Junior League of Seattle President, which is a huge commitment, and said that she can now see the light at the end of the tunnel since she will be passing the gavel to her successor on May 21st.  Having served as Junior League of Seattle President in 1991-92, I can still remember that feeling.  It was also fascinating to hear about Koryn's huge structural art projects that she is doing all over the country (though definitely not enough here yet) through her Koryn Rolstad Studios!  I was so impressed when I went to see her website after the party.  We definitely need some of her art in our community.

Since Steve is on the Board of Governors, also attending the party were many Columbia Tower Club members and associates including Membership Directors Lori Sailors and Deann Anderson.  Good friends, JJ McKay, Nancy Pellegrino and FreddaSteve Goldfarb were also there to join in the celebration which included cocktails, dinner and dancing.

Even though Michael Greer had committed to dance with me (he is a great dancer!), the Party Curmudgeon, aka Ken, was ready to leave before that part of the evening really got started.  C'est la vie!

Thank you Steve and Lisa for including us in your festive and fun celebration!  Congratulations on your engagement!
