The Tacoma Executives Association put on a party in a Mardi Gras style and called it Pardi Gras! The New Orleans themed party featured outstanding hors d'oeuvres, a great cajun dinner at the Fircrest Country Club, a band of northwest musical professionals billed as The Spanktones (just for this event, I'm sure), a wonderful rum punch called a Crocktail, prizes, friendship, and happy people out for a good time. But, you can probably figure that out from the photographs below.

The event encompassed lots of fun leading up to the event. President-Elect Chris Lucero took part in an unusual protein item blind taste test earning him the nick-name "Possom Man." Fernando Johnson of C.I. Shenanigans had his chef prepare a Tabasco sipping contest at one the weekly networking meetings. Each of the five participants loved the firey selections. Co-chairs for the event were Marsha Schorer of Marsha Schorer Digital Imaging LLC and Don Doman of PublicDoman.com. Member Lianna Collinge and Association Management coordinated the paperwork and planning along with the beautful decoratons. President Terri Mandel of Tacoma Rubber Stamp oversaw the festivities and was a drinker of Tabasco in the earlier sipping contest. She's a very hot lady.
