Quotes from The 2007 Black Cat Ball

Our 2007 Black Cat Ball brought a classy crowd to the Harvard Club and below are a smattering of candid comments from guests. If they don’t make you come in 2008 – out of curiosity at least – then we fear there is no hope for you:

“Well I can’t say the evening was healthy but it was certainly well engineered.”

-- Mr. and Mrs. Sauder (She a doctor and he an engineer – quite punny really)

“A good evening and a good crowd. What is nice is that it is not too packed and everyone is obviously having a great time”

-- Mr. David Chun of the British Consulate

“The venue is beautiful and the music is wonderful. But a few too many English accents perhaps…”

-- Scott and Cathy Pale (N.B. – the accents remark was a joke. Really)

“A lovely evening that will hopefully become a regular fixture in the Boston calendar. The British Charitable Society do enormously valuable work and tonight’s event demonstrates that although Americans are known for their philanthropy, the British are pretty good at it too.”

-- John Rankin, HM Consul General and Guest of Honor on the evening

“I loved it. Good food, gorgeous venue and shameless enthusiasm on the dancefloor.”

-- Miss Adianez Albelo

“Fantastic! Wonderful! I have had a great time and the people have been fabulous.”

-- Miss Dana D’Alfonso

“I feel a tad overdressed. I went to the coat check and ordered a pizza. I’m just in Boston for the weekend and didn’t know what was going on.”

-- Man in jeans and distressed leather jacket who entered at 11.55pm

“I’ve had a grand time. The food and the networking has been good and it has been a great opportunity to see parents misbehaving.”

-- Fred Lancaster who may have given a false name.

“Hail Brittania! I’m enamoured with British culture and the fact that’s one of few places where they still like we Americans.”

-- Brian Saipe
