Alain Pinel Realtors – Carmel ~ Celebrating the Top Producers

Alain Pinel Realtors Awards Banquet and Dinner Dance

Evening on the Orient Express!

January 26, 2019

All Aboard!

Rob, Judie, and Bob Profeta, Broker/owner of Alain Pinel Realtors-Carmel

In January we had an evening of  fun and frolic to honor our Top Producers  with the theme of the Who done it . . “Murder on the Orient Express“.  Luckily, there was no real murder and all survived the evening enjoying a wonderful dinner and kicking up our heels dancing.

Pat, Michelle, and I drew the butler cards

We had an “ice breaker” to get people to mingle.  Our mission with a prize at completion was to find all the other guests with our same card representing the characters from the movie, “Murder on the  Orient Express“.  Luckily, in this case, the butler DIDN’T do it.

Geoff, hubby Allan, and Tony drew the conductor.

My husband, Allan, standing in the center, drew the conductor card.

After dinner was the presentation of the 2018 Awards

Community Events, Golf on the Monterey Peninsula

“Make My Day” ~ AT&T Golf Tournament 2019 ~ Pebble Beach

AT&T Golf Tournament February 7-10 2019

Pebble Beach, CA

Welcome to the AT&T Golf Tournament 2019!

The AT&T Golf Tournament has always been dear to my heart.  It’s one of the events that made me fall in love with the Monterey Peninsula and inspired me to move here.

As  San Franciscans my husband and I were in awe of the Monterey Peninsula and we loved coming down to the tournament – usually meeting up with some of his golf buddies.  After walking the course and watching their favorite golfers in the morning my husband and his cohorts

Taken more recently – still walking the course!

would head out inspired and play Bayonet or one of their other favorite golf courses.  I would continue to be the consummate spectator

trying to catch a glimpse of Don Johnson, Kevin Costner, Jack Lemon, or Clint Eastwood (back when he still played in the tournament.)  OK, I didn’t just have golf on my mind!

Well, let’s fast forward to 2019.  Speaking of Clint, there is something new at this year’s tournament, “Clint’s Saloon“! (See page 16)

Clint Eastwood in the Centennial Parade.

Situated on the 3rd Fairway a viewing venue has been created that offers a “Spaghetti Western” feel.  Swinging saloon doors, peanut shells on the floor, TV screens showing “A Fistful of Dollars” and “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” . . .  and everyone goes home with a Bobblehead of Clint.  

Clint about to join the Centennial parade in Carmel. He walked right by me and said, “Excuse me”, I was kind of in his way to get onto the stage coach!

The  Carmel Pine Cone has reported that sales for the upgraded ticket to hang in Clint’s Saloon are selling like “cheap whiskey on a cattle drive”.  Giddy up, Rawhide! Tickets are $250-$350 and hey, it’s for charity.

I know I haven’t talked at all about the actual golfers that are going to play or that a little known golfer, Ted Potter, our 2018 winner will be defending his title (Beware of flip flops!).  Check out the Pine Cone for great coverage on that.  I’m looking forward to seeing my new favorite pro golfers like Phil and Justin and Jordan.  The celebrities aren’t quite what they used to be (personal opinion) but time changes.

2018 Champion, Ted  Potter

As a blogger, I’ve always been advised to keep it short so I’ll be back again with insights as to how the realtor community views the tournament – since that’s ME!

Stay tuned! And call me if you too (like me) would like to own “a piece of dirt” on the Monterey Peninsula!
