Thanksgiving, a day we give thanks
for all the blessings that we
received in this past year. We thank
God for our families, wonderful
friends, good health, and all the
other blessings bestowed upon us.
Those are the reasons we celebrate
THANKSGIVING every year.
Our celebration was another smash
hit - another great event, and a fun
night!

Grand Door Prize, a 5 night and 4
day stay at a Cancun Resort for 4

We are thankful for are our
beautiful guests, loyal friends, and
our VIP friends for attending all of
our events through-out these past
years. They are the life of our
parties at every event, loyally
attending every month. Their loyalty
and friendship is what we will truly
treasure forever and cannot be
replaced by wealth or any material
things. I hope that you did not
forget to say thank you to your
loved ones, friends and the people
that have helped you and been part
of your life in the past and in your
present. And if you have time to
reciprocate their kindness; do it if
you can. It does not have to be a
big thing, even small kindnesses
mean much. It is the thought and
intent that counts: that you
actually wanted to reciprocate their
kindness. And if you see people that
need help please do try to help
them. Especially help our veterans.
If we don't get immediate
gratification here on earth, I am
sure that we all will receive our
true gifts in heaven.
This was another wonderful gathering
of handsome people, gorgeous ladies,
well attired and good looking men
including our VIP guests starting
off with the beautiful Maria Soccor Actress
and Director. Maria’s movie won in
Berlin, London, Madrid and many
other places (also, a cousin of the
actor Stanley Tucci who played the
husband of Merrill Strip in the
movie about Julia Child, and was in
many movies). Also attending: the
Economist Wojtek Trojewicz of the
Polish Consulate, Georgios
Michailides, Trade Commisioner of
Greece, and several guests from the
United Nations. Of note: Kenneth Flornes CEO/Founder

Irena Skoda (who is one of the
Architect of the Trump World Tower),
Celebrity Architect Stephen
Valentines, of course we
must mention our European super

Richard Holland Actor/Model, and
so many more guests.
We had 5 birthday celebrants that
evening Actor and Director Maria

The Empire, the Madison and Vine and
6 other establishments), Susana

Estere Diva led the singing of Happy
Birthday to our 5 celebrants – and
after a while we served these
monstrous chocolate cakes.
OUR ENTERTAINMENT: INTERNATIONAL
OPERA AND POP ARTIST ESTERE DIVA
Estere, a seasoned Soprano with
performance experience in many
musicals and European productions,
in movies and television shows.
Estere has been seen in Europe's
premier music festival, "The
Eurovision", and won first place in
Paris when she sang with 'Alpha-Betha'. Growing
up with an opera singer for a
father, Estere watched her dad at
shows and rehearsals fueling her
passion and pursuit of musical
performances at such an early age.
Later on in life she developed a
love of the Pop and Jazz classics
and began extensive coaching and
training in versatile operatic
endeavors. She's built an extensive
repertoire that features Puccini,
Bellini, Verdi, Lehar, and Catalani,
and her debut at Carnegie Hall in
2009 was met with much acclaim,
bringing her back for a second
performance in 2010.
Estere regularly captures audiences
near and abroad with her effortless
high notes, unique flair and pitch,
perfect ability to cater to upscale
galas, corporate events, wedding
receptions, as well as laid back
private parties, birthdays, family
reunions, and other special
celebrations. Let Estere serenade
you and your guests at that upcoming
event. Her contact phone number
#1-201-248-1112.
The celebration was another long
event night where guests remained
'til midnight - including yours
truly. We were all having so much
fun that no one wanted to leave.
Again guests came from other
different parts of the world: the
states, the tri-state area, and from
many countries represented. Our
friends from countries included
Poland, Russia, Croatia, Germany,
Switzerland, the Netherlands,
Philippines, Greece, France (the
Music Director Yan Saquet), Spain,
South America, Italy, Russia,
Lithuania, Israel, Ukraine, England,
Ireland, Mexico and China, including
many others.
Our events are always a wonderful
gathering place of locals, national
and International guests - a true
meeting place of great minds... So
many intelligent, unique and fun
conversations happening
simultaneously with business and
corporates, elite professionals,
finance, members of the Press,
celebrities, movie people, and
diplomats.
