Goose, the hotel dog, is one of
our most
popular amenities.
Besides
"stupid pet tricks"
he is also running for
Honorary Mayor of Groveland.
The series of photos on this side are
from a few of our black tie events, a few New Years, a Friday the 13th party
an 80th birthday party and a 25th Anniversary.

| Your hosts, Lynn & Victor
enjoying a New Year's Eve dance. |

| Nude Photo Shoot Today, We used this sign to
discourage walk-in visitors on the day we shot the Red Hats Calendar
Girls 2007 Calendar. Needless to say, it seemed to encourage folks to
HAVE to stop in. |
 |
| This is Catherine, a little charmer in her pink. She
perfectly matched the flowers in both color and height. |
 |
| Horses love to visit the Charlotte and it gives an old
west feel to the place. We tried to get the horse into the Hotel for a
photo, but it just didn't happen. What a shot that would have been—at
the piano or bellied up to the bar? |
 |
| These kids went to their first wedding from the
Charlotte. She was the flower girl and he the ring guy. They were
really quite excited and we very much enjoyed their positive energy.
|
 |
| These ladies came for a rafting trip and borrowed all
of our hats. They looked great and we started collecting hats for
guests to to use in the park or around town for shade or style. |
 |
| This is Groveland's Girl Scout Troop 199 who came to
the Charlotte for a lesson in a commercial kitchen. They thought they
were just going to stir some ingredients, but Victor had them make a
full meal, just like a restaurant might do. Of course, we then got to
eat it. I was to show the girls how to set a proper table, but they
were more interested in the behind the scenes stuff that Victor was
teaching. |
 |
| These gals hale from Finland and dressed up each
evening for dinner. While here they enrolled in the Junior Ranger
program through Yosemite National Park and had some fun homework each
evening. |
 |
| This was our first bride. She dashed into the hotel
for a quick change on her way to Yosemite Chapel for the wedding
stopping only quickly enough for me to capture the moments. I think
she liked the giraffe. I would be most pleased if she would stop in
again on her way to the park when she next celebrates her anniversary |
 |
| The Hotel Charlotte was named Home of the Red Hats in
2006. We have 3 local groups, the Red Hat Posse, Red Hat Mommas and
the Sierra Red Hats, all who book a lunch or breakfast a couple of
times a year at the Charlotte. We always have fun! |
 |
| Our annual New Year's Eve party has become a tradition
and one of the most sought after invitations in Grovelan. I am
thrilled that I don't have to do the inviting! It would be way too
hard. Thanks to Jack and Jeannie who gave me the cool glasses.
Everyone wanted their picture with these on. |
 |
| This last year the Hotel
Charlotte was a hopping holiday venue hosting breakfasts, lunches and
dinners throughout the month of December. We had to have our own
holiday party in January. |
 |
| Groveland loves a good
Halloween! These little devils are the daughters of two employees,
Michelle who waitresses for us and Brenda who now sells houses. |
 |
| These are Shari's kids,
Barbara & Josh and we have truly watched them grow up from tiny
munchkins to goat riding award winning cowboy and cow girl! When asked
at school what they were going to be when they grew up...Barbara said
a Hotel Charlotte waitress....I was tickled and am holding a spot for
her 10 years down the road. |
 |
| This is Lisa our loan
officer and good friend. She used to be our Sysco rep and that was
fun. Parties seem to happen where ever Lisa goes. She makes a
delicious caviar pie if you go for that stuff. It even color matched
our Christmas tree. |

And a little space for Kay, the Groveland's decorator extraordinaire!

Whether dressing up Groveland with her
collection of costumes or dressing the buildings, posts and pillars for
some special event, Kay is a one of a kind gal and we are lucky to have
her in our town.
