Guests had a great time at Boston Community Collaborative’s fifth Annual Halloween Costume party FUNraiser. This year’s party was October 27th at Filippo’s and was sponsored by BCC. Many guests contributed generously to help cover costs. Everyone in attendance was treated to a lovely dinner, great company and a GREAT live band, Hula-la featuring Tom Poitras of The Toe Jam Puppet Band.
Costume judging was performed by an anonymous guest amongst us and trophies were awarded as follows:
Best North End Theme: Sylvia DiNunzio – Italian gypsy lady
Prettiest: Lauren Nelson as a Suffragette
Funniest: John LoRusso as an Error Message
Best Couple: Bonnie and Ed Denison as Eleanor and Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Scariest: Barbara Mikolajczak (spelled just like it sounds) as Derek Jeter
Halloweeniest: Gina Prantil as Halloween
Congratulations to all the winners of the costume categories. Next year’s date: 10/26/18. We are all ready looking forward to it!
