The Event was Hosted by Elite Professional Networking Group and Co-Hosted by Black Tie International Magazine and Giorgio G Cognac 
 (Of Designer Giorgio Gucci) & Emperors Vodka.

Our guests noticed that there were more people at this party, than at our previous events at the TRUMP TOWER WORLD BAR (except of course, the Annual October Red Carpet Platinum Event which attracted many wonderful guests). This event was well attended with wall to wall, pleasant, quality people who had a good time socializing making new and finding old friends, and most having so much fun, stayed very late again...

 We honored a veteran Combat Veteran Patrick Venetek, with his wife Joanna for his service to our country. He had been assigned both to
 Iraq and Afghanistan. 
Our Gold Star Parents (Fallen Soldier Parents) 
were Michele McNaughton
 (President American Gold Start Mothers-Chapter 61)
and her husband William McNaughton
who are both former NYPD officers. 

They recieved an award for their beloved son
 James McNaughton
who was also a former NYPD Officer.

 The award ceremony went very well; the honories were very proud to receive their Certificates of Appreciation.
They were accompanied by Glen Witt (who invited our honorees) he is the Project Manager of the Veterans Across America who works a lot with our Veterans together with there Executive Director Steve White and Don Buzney, Emcee and Host of "The Veterans Corner" New York's only Radio Show dedicated to our veterans.

 Entertainment was provided by Lyric Tenor: Ray Hornblower, Singer: Marisa Lemcke of Argentina and Gabriel Hermida and Raul Isola (Argentine Guitar Players.) Our the guests loved their music. Marisa always looks good, and sings so wonderfully all the time, and was the favorite entertainer of our events.

We also celebrated the birthday of David Alan Kogut, Principal Owner of NORTHEAST VENTURE GROUP INC. and Jadvyga Cajauskiene of Lithuania. Each of them was given there own birthday cake to their big surprise, and they blew out their candles while the guests all were singing Happy Birthday to the both of  them.
 The cake was served to everyone and was an extremely delicious cake. We credit Nataly Stern, President of Stern Gallery for ordering such a great terrific birthday cake she take good care of a good assignment.

The event was covered by Gerard Mc keon from the Black Tie Inernational Magazine, Katerin Rodriquez of On-Air Talent and Univision, David Alan Kogut, Patricia Trim TV Magazine, Killer Looks International (TV and Photography), Sandra Photography and Saulius Cajiauskus of Satori Pictures, Barry Brown, Brown Studios & Video and others - 
we had a lot of wonderful  media that night.

 Kenneth McClure General Manager of Trump Tower World Bar and Vice President of Hospitality Holdings prepared  numbers of delicious foods, and special drinks for the guests that everybody enjoyed.  And as for me, I always enjoy my champagne, but I also tried the Martini that was created from Emperor Vodka an Ultra Premuim Vodka (made in France). Made by the same company that makes the Giorgio G. Cognac by Giorgio Gucci which is another delicious Premium Cognac, a limited edition of 2000 bottles all numbered and the gold letterings and logo are written in real gold that I like very much. I have a friend who told me that when she had this vodka, that it was so good that she is dreamt about it at night. The World Bar is serving the Emperor Vodka, just ask the bartender when you go there.
