A Holiday Celebration to Remember
&
Benefit for the Philippines
 
Article By: Gloria Consolacion T. Cressler
Photographs by Barry of Barry Brown Studios/ GMK
 
The holiday season in New York City is a very special time of the year. 
There is laughter in the streets and a joy in the air. 
 The lights glow brighter, and every store window seems alive with holiday decorations. 
 
A hallmark of the season is the annual holiday party.  And the Elite Professional Networking Group had one terrific get-together on Friday, December 6.  Celebrants crowded into the World Bar at the Trump Tower to enjoy a remarkable evening of holiday merriment.  The party captured the energy and vitality of the city at play - good cheer and happiness was everywhere!
 
Not surprisingly, most guests lost track of time during the event or simply didn’t want the evening to end – so we all had a very, very late night!  But isn’t that a sign of a great party!  Already, people are anticipating our next event on Jan. 14

for our Welcome to the New Year Event on Tuesday, January 14th.  
 Save the date. Invite your friends. 
And let’s get 2014 off to the right start.
 
Our celebration was produced by Gloria T. Cressler, CEO and founder of Elite Professional Networking Group.  Our hosts for the evening 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.
 
Our birthday celebrant for December was Richard Alan, of Richard Alan Management and Alex Ross Modeling Agency.  When the birthday cake was brought out, all the guests sang a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday.  Leading the chorus were myself, Gerry McKeon, our singer Nancy G. and Richard Friends.  Let us know when you are celebrating your birthday  – we want to make the day extra-special for you. 
 
 Our Entertainment for the night was Nancy Goudinaki 
                               
Nancy Gourdinaki sings with a remarkable maturity and clarity, combined with a unique and creative interpretation of lyrics  - a very impressive talent, indeed.  With her stylistic classical guitar playing, you can easily see why Nancy is a step above other artists. George Burton, the jazz pianist, added to her wonderful music. The guests were all impress with her beautiful voice.  Many of our guests bought her new CD – the question is:  Were they were adding to their musical collection or buying a holiday gift?  Maybe both?  Nancy donated $ 5.00 for every CD sold to the typhoon victims in the Philippines.
 Thank you Nancy.
