Our celebration was hosted by 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 gathered at the always-popular Trump Tower International World Bar to welcome the night of Spring.  Once again our guests were having so much fun that they stayed till the wee hours of the night.

 This time we had an Olympic athlete in attendance.  Olympian Atlette Michael P. Voudouris, who lives in New York City and Greece, participated in the 2002 Winter Olympic in Salt lake Utah.  Michael competed in the skeleton event – a head first, high-speed, sled ride down a long track.

And once again Award Winning producer, director, and writer, Dean Love, of Dean Love Films LLC, was back from filming in Washington D.C.   The actress Duvall O’Steen joined him.  Also enjoying the evening were members of Larry Silverstein’s World Trade Center:  Kenneth Flornes, the Managing Director and Sandy Jacolow, Chief Information Officer.  The building, with cocktail lounges on the penthouse floor, will soon be renamed the Silver Towers.  We will let you know of the grand opening night. 

 This month is a busy month for us in the birthday department. We had six birthdays to celebrant this time. We’ll start with the ladies first:  attorney Irene L. Dachtera of JSBarkats PLLC, Singer Nancy Goudinaki, a jazz vocalist and classical guitarist.  Our birthday guys were award winning director Dean Love, Marc Segelnick, Managing Director of Clutch Capital Management, LLC, Jim Swiger, the Managing Director of Enviroglobal Solutions and last, not but not least, my long time friend Dr. Thomas Mallios, who is also a board member of Elite Professional Networking Group.  We had a beautiful birthday cake and two apple pies.  Who would have known – the “apple birthday-pies” were a big favorite!

All the guests sang Happy Birthday to all the birthday celebrants as they were blowing out the candles on the cake and pie.

  Our sponsors that night were:

AR-1Supercar 

Nick Alessi, our regular host and sponsor was on hand to discuss his amazing car - the AR-1.  This is one of the most remarkable automobiles in today’s car market. Nick has combined cutting-edge style with super-performance to produce a one-of-kind vehicle that elicits “Holy Cow” every auto enthusiast. It is often said that the AR-1 belongs both on the race track and in an art museum. This is a limited production car that is a ‘must have’ for the serious car enthusiast. Our guests enjoyed talking to him about his unique AR-1Supercar.  Don’t miss the opportunity to visit his web site at AlessiCarDedign.com.
