Olympians Among the Numbers

A magical event taking place at Camden Yards tonight.  Sports Legends is hosting a reception for more than 300 members of the United States Winter Olympic Team!

Team USA athletes, coaches and administrators are visiting Baltimore prior to their meeting in Washington, DC with President Barack Obama.  Naturally, there is no more appropriate place to gather for a celebration of sports than Legends.

Preparations have been very low key, which is we haven't mentioned it earlier.  However, with the media advisory being released about an hour ago, we can show how the gala event is being staged in Edward Bennett Williams plaza.  You'll note the Hall of Fame numbers and planters provide a nice accent to the table decorations. 

(Yes, I know this isn't the society page so I won't dwell on the splendid decor and appointments.  But it is a clever use of the space and a wonderful setting to recognize the contribution of our Olympic athletes.)

The guest list is very limited, so I plan to acquire some party pictures by cleverly disguising myself as working press. With a little luck (and an MSA badge) I'll hopefully be able to sidle in for some candid shots to share with you (and the Annual Report.)

Look for us on the news tonight, and here tomorrow.  This is certain to be a star-studded event.
