Avast, Me Mateys!
The Old Constitution firehouse is excited - the upcoming Christmas Party Benefit on Friday, December 1st, is A Pirate Christmas! The spirits of the horses that pulled the wagons are snorting in anticipation. The memories of the men who lived and worked in the firehouse are collecting to take a look. The neighbors will be marveling at how the pirate ship is brought to life.
Every year the Old Constitution Firehouse gets a benefit for its upkeep. The VAA leases the building from the City and is responsible for maintaining the old girl. Old buildings fairly well eat money, don't ye know? So the Christmas Party began years ago to raise funds to keep 'er going and to give folks a good party. And, mateys, this'll be a good 'un!! There be grub, grog, and treasure all around.
Did ye notice how I started to work a bit of pirate talk and phraseology into the written text? Don't be surprised if ye see yer Board and Committee folks wandering around town muttering little piratey phrases under their breath, slapping their sword hand into the air, etc. It all just be practice and not be harmful to landlubbers.
Arrr!
