Hayes-Taylor Banquet Machiko and I attended the annual Hayes-Taylor YMCA Banquet last night.  This along with the WOMAN and A&T events made up the only functions this year which I was invited to as a Libertarian candidate -- without requiring any after the fact negotiation upon finding out I was passed over in the first round. During the award presentations, the invited political candidates who did attend were asked to stand and be introduced to the crowd.  I was at a table with judges Bray, Dudley and Enochs.  County commissioner candidates attending were Skip Alston and John Parks.  My opponents were not at the event.  Had they been at my table they could have meet Thurmond and Karen who do live in District 7 -- but unfortunately had already voted.   Not sure if the seating was done to make a point.  Machiko and I were in a great position near the podium other than having to shoot pictures over the top of the Alstons' heads at the table next to us.  Interesting juxtaposition there. Enola Mixon won YMCA Lady of the Year and John Harris, III took Man of the Year.  Attorney T.O. "Pella" Stokes was recognized for being a Pearl level ($5000+) donor. We wrapped up nearly on time at  just after 6:00pm (in time for Halloween.)  On the way out we all were given a Jill Scott CD compliments of our keynote speaker Charles Whitfield of Hidden Beach Recordings. 9:24:39 AM      comment []
