Yes, it was
another fabulous, fabulous
night. Our Pre-Thanksgiving
Celebration, held on
Tuesday, November 19, was a
delightful, fun-filled
night. The cold weather did
not deter our guests who
came to enjoy a spectacular
evening in the Big Apple.
This was a
great reunion for old
friends, and we also had a
host of new faces. As
always our guests stayed
till very late - you know
what that means - they are
having a great time. And,
many of our guests gave
their
RSVP for the
December 6th
Christmas Celebration
– a sign for another great party.
Our celebration
was produced by Gloria T.
Cressler, CEO and founder of
Elite Professional
Networking Group. Our hosts
were: Elite Professional
Networking Group, Black Tie
International Magazine,
Power Team International,
Giorgio G Cognac (by fashion
designer Giorgio Gucci),
Emperors Brand and the
AR-1Supercar. We gathered at
the always popular, always
friendly Trump Tower
International World Bar.
We had two
birthday celebrants - Debra
Pirolo, a former Miss New
York, and Kenneth McClure,
the vice president and group
general manager of
Hospitality Holdings, a
company that owns The World
Bar at the Trump Tower, The
Carnegie Club, the Campbell
Lounge, Madison and Vine,
and others. All the guests
sang happy birthday to them
when their birthday cakes
were brought out. Let us
know when you are
celebrating your birthday –
we want to party with you!
That night’s
entertainment was by: Paula
Oleska

mezzo-soprano. She studied
singing in Poland from a
young age. After coming
to New York, she
