“Carrots and Carats” was the theme for the July summer gathering for ladies of Royal Palm Yacht Club. Graciously hosted by Commodore’s Mate Elaine Tynus Slaughter, with Melody, Jessica and Matthew Zang at the Raffle Table and Mary Anne Merrill at the Reception Table, it was a terrific opportunity to catch up with friends. Representatives from Dunkin’s Diamonds of Fort Myers brought an extensive display of the latest diamond jewelry and settings, and made a presentation on an innovative cut of diamond. After seeing the sparkle of a one-carat “rock” with a new type of cut called “Hearts on Fire,” it was hard not to wish for one! Then our very own Kemorr Condappa demonstrated how he magically transforms lowly fruits and vegetables into fanciful bouquets and sea creatures. Seeing the wonderful arrangements, we all vowed to go home and try his carving techniques on our potatoes, carrots and beets for dinner...RIGHT! Kemorr was assisted by Food & Beverage Manager Jason Little, who gave us additional tips on preparing decorative foods. The luncheon concluded with two happy winners of the 50-50 drawing.
