Speaking New York
(Mondays 8 pm Channel 34)
Our kick off for the New
Year was held on Tuesday January
14. Everyone in attendance was in
high spirits and remembered the most
important resolution for any New
Year: Remain close to your old
friends, and be eager to make new
ones!
And if you think of it,
friends are the family we grow and
grow throughout our lifetime. Well,
our networking family came out to
the World Bar at Trump Tower to
enjoy a remarkable and fun
evening. There was plenty of energy
and vitality crowd
– a sign that there is a great 2014
in store for us!
Like so many of our other
events, time just flew by as people
shared stories, discussed business
strategies, and networked new
entrepreneurial opportunities. It’s
no wonder that everyone was already
making plans for our next event on
Tuesday, February 11th.
That’s the date of our Valentine’s
Day Celebration. As you know, this
is always a big, big event -we all
need to take a break from the daily
work grind – and this event is
filled with love. After all, don’t
forget that New Year’s resolution:
Remain close to your old friends,
and be eager to make new ones!
Besides, my birthday is on
Valentine’s Day, and I’ll be
celebrating with our other February
birthday guests on the 11th.
Don’t miss it.
The January 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.
We celebrated the January
birthday of Rita Cosby Host of CBS
TV and Radio. She was accompanied
by her long time partner Tomaczek
Bednarek, Juan Plaza of My Life
Style Magazine, Shanna MCM Wallace
of YFLFand and William Michael of
William Michael Photography
LLC. When the birthday cake was
brought out, all the guests sang a
rousing rendition of Happy
Birthday. Leading the chorus were
Gloria T. Cressler, Gerard McKeon
publisher of Black Tie International
Magazine, Karen Hoyos Latin
celebrity, life coach and author,
Bill Lanndis, actor and movie
director, and our VIP guests Mr.
Julio B. Pujols, Counselor of
Permanent Mission of the Dominican
Republic to the United Nations.
It was really a fun night for the birthday celebrant.
Our surprise
entertainment for the evening was
provided by opera singers Cristina
Fontinelli and Paula Oleska. They
were simply spectacular!
We are looking forward for next performances.
