Once again it is a Holiday month. What a beautiful time to get together with our friends. Despite the fact that it was a Friday when our Jewish Friends are observing their Sabath, many of our friends had to go back to their residences in Upstate or CT, or at the seashores of New Jersey. Our treasured friends and some new friends came to celebrate Christmas with us. Several of us were dressed in red, and all the ladies looked good in their outfits, and the men looked so smart in their suits… All of us were happy to see each other again at our monthly event where another reunion gained more of our regulars and new guests.

Every month we have our regulars and many new guests that included our members and friends of Elite Professional Networking Group (EPNG), and friends of Black Tie International Magazine.  And a lot of regulars also brought their friends who came to join in our festivities. It was a fabulous and jolly night. Everyone was so busy and involved with networking that it is so hard to pull them apart during our entertainment portion.

The venue was held again at The World Bar at Trump World Tower International by the United Nations and produced by Gloria T. Cressler, CEO/Founder of Elite Professional Networking Group and International Correspondent, and Host of Black Tie International Magazine & TV, and co-hosted by Black Tie International Magazine, Power Team International, Giorgio G. Cognac (by famous designer Giorgio GUCCI), and Emperors Vodka, International Wine Master and Global Fine Wines & Food Connection.

All our guests were happy to meet and socialize with our VIP guests, and have their pictures taken with them individually and in groups.
