St. Patrick's Day celebration was another fabulous event where truly there was the real luck of the Irish! Almost every day it was either raining or snowing, but that night it was warm and dry amazingly fantastic weather. Prior to the event, the day before it was raining like crazy, and then snowing, and then again the day after our event.  We were given a great blessing of good weather that night. So I believe that, it was the luck of the Irish! So old friends and new friends came, and in fact several guests came out early to celebrate with us. Some of the ladies are dress in green, including yours truly. Some of the gentlemen wear a shade of green jacket others with green ties, And everyone was having a terrific time, reuniting with old friends and meeting new friends. 

         

As always our monthly celebration, networking and monthly reunion are held at The World Bar at Trump Tower International by the United Nations The event was produced by Gloria T. Cressler, CEO/Founder of Elite Professional Networking Group and Editor of Black Tie International Magazine. Co-hosted by Black Tie International Magazine, Power Team International, Giorgio G. Cognac (by famous designer Giorgio GUCCI), and Emperors Vodka, Wine World Wide Inc., and Global Fine Wines.

 

Our guests once again enjoyed a memorable, remarkable, and fun evening.  Our guests this time were led by my long time friend Harvey Dzodin the former VP of ABC TV. And our good friend the lovely Maria Soccor, an actor, director and producer. She is also the cousin of the famous actor Stanley Tucci, and of course we had the present again of the celebrity architect Stephen Valentine, who rearranged his busy schedule to join us. Attendees included Richard Healey the General Manager of Regus, and as always Richard Alan of Richard Alan Management, and Alex Ross Modeling Agency, came with his gorgeous models. And of course our events were attended by so many other wonderful loyal friends and new friends, in which we will regale later.

 

As always, like so many of our other events time just flew by as people shared stories, discussed business strategies, and networked new entrepreneurial opportunities. I know most are like me, we are all ready to welcome spring. Everyone is looking forward towards our next fabulous event on April 22^nd with partying in spring through great Celebration.  Do make sure to wear something with flowers in your outfit or in your hair or some bright tops or bright neck ties for the men so we can welcome spring with a bang. This is going to be another fabulous night!

  

Our entertainment for the night is Mezzo Soprano Paula Oleska.

 

Paula Oleska, is a mezzo-soprano, studied singing in Poland since the young age. After coming to New York, she performed with many opera companies, like Bel Canto, Brooklyn Lyric and many others. She also performed in Cabaret, being especially recognized for her interpretation of Broadway standards. Paula open her show with a famous Irish song called Danny Boy to celebrate St. Patrick's day, in which the guests sang with her the last verse headed by our own Gerard McKeon Publisher of Black Tie International Magazine, who is a pure blooded Irish man. Everybody felt the love of the Irish people that evening. And after a beautiful moment Paula continued to sing famous, Italian and French songs that I had requested discovering later that the guests loved all the selections that I had picked. And Paula of course was accompanied all that time by her ever talented pianist player, Marta Zywiecka who made her name, also of her own re-known. They make a very good pair.  Paula is our Resident Singer and she enjoys entertaining our wonderful guests all the time
