Can you top this?
During the fall and winter months the officers and directors of the 400 Club face the challenge of trying to improve on the prior Gameboree in both content and quality. This year was no exception and most will agree the event was both memorable and another success. If you were to describe the Gameboree in baseball terms, you might say it went into extra innings and everyone walked away a winner. The dinner and program got underway at 7 PM and ended at 11 PM. The theme of this year’s Gameboree was, “Honoring Pete and Remembering Skip. Those attending the Gameboree were treated by the head table guests with anecdotes of behind the scenes accounts of Pete and Skip that had everyone virtually in stitches.
This year's Gameboree was held at the Marriott Century Center, as has been the case for the past several years. This year's honorees included James "Red" Moore, Kim Hudson and Hank Aaron.
