Rotary Ann Lifestyle:
"How to Host a
Murder!"

First mix a potion to convince the Rotary President to fund the Halloween Party Add a good amount of your Club Service B specialist. Seal if off with a little sea witch magic and you get a perfect concoction to a great Halloween bash.

Although a few days early, the celebration was such a success. It rated very high on the totally hilarious scale. I don't even know where to begin describing the great costumes the Rotary fellows came in. Even my regular face painter noticed we have made a vast improvement from last year. I think you guys are now used to me and have decided to go with the flow inside of fighting it. The once sedate Rotary guys have now been converted to the "cool" category

The evening was perfect, The rain had stopped and mist was covering the lawn. Bloody-red wine was served with squid and prawns, which were freshly grilled to death. Butchered bratwurst and sausages were chopped and served together with some pasta. You know that tingling feeling behind your neck? Well, we got that at the sight of the ghosts and goblins that night. We had a living-dead Cinderella (yours truly), a mummy (DOV), an ax murderer (George Lagos), a masked murdered (Bobby), two witches (Mai-Mai & Chatty) and Mr. and Ms. Dracula (Coch & Grace).

We were also honorably graced with a mix of royalty from opposite ends

of the globe. We had a sheik from Arabia (Noel B., King Arthur and Lady Guinevere (PKC & Carla), a royal Manchurian warrior (Tom), Amadeus (Eugene), and his Excellency Emperor Obelix (Alvin). One can not doubt the authenticity of the Emperor. His shaven head was such a standout that it won him the grand prize of the male category

An unusual selection of costumes were also milling around the ghostlydecorated dungeon Du'Valdes. There was a turtle (Leni), a tree (Becky), a Metallica monster (Chuck), a Dominican Nun (Sandy), a monk (Dong 1) and a priest (Ralby)!

After a Pictionary game of horror films won by PKC's team, we awarded the best costumes - the best couple theme costume, the best male and then the best female. The King and Queen of Hearts won best couple, with their handmade crowns providing the extra edge that won it for them. They must have come straight from the kingdom of Erap where his casino buddies are king, too. Dracula Grace won best female entry, partially as she was most likely not to come in costume to begin with.

With a new camera and P4,000 cash prize (... if he can collect P 2,000 from the Laurels who were fined for only coming in a mask with no costume), Emperor Obelix treated us to ice cream and halohalo in Manila Peninsula. It's a good thing DOV separated our bill because the Laurel boys and Bryan had so much milkshake and ice cream to fill their expanding tummies for days.

So how does Rotary host a murder? Come and find out for yourself next year at our annual Halloween party!
