Once again we had our annual Thanksgiving celebration which was another great event. But this was a special month, a time to be so thankful for all the gifts we have been given both in the past and those things to come in the future… We are thankful this Thanksgiving for our good health, our families our friends, close and distant.  First of all, I thanked God for all my blessings, for my families and good friends,.
We also want to thank all our friends who come to support our events every month allowing us the generous opportunity to help different veterans’ charity organizations.

 

As always we had so many of our regular guests attending that evening which included new guests and our Members of Elite Professional Networking Group (EPNG), and Friends of Black Tie International Magazine. Our guests usually have a fabulous time especially at this event which included our long-lasting friends and new ones that we are so pleased to meet. Consistently at these gatherings we get to meet so many new faces who are invited in by our regulars and our new friends.
And of course, all of us had new friends who attended and had fun.

 

Once again we had our long-time friend there: Award Winning Producer, Director and Writer Dean Love who made Life in Mars, FBI File, Queen Elizabeth 1 (The Virgin Queen), and many other movies. We are always so pleased when he joins us taking a break from his filming, and happy to have him because he is a wonderful man. Also attending was Miss Ohio Lindsey Davis who had just arrived back from her trip to Germany and Paris.
She looked gorgeous and was as lovely as ever…

 

Also Economist Wojtec Trocewicz of the Polish Consulate who is married to the beautiful and charming Sabina Klimek, the Trade Commissioner of Poland. Also, who attended was my long-time friend Bill D' Eleto President of Russian American Organization at the United Nations and President of Metropolitan Field Operations, Inc., and also there was Gerard McKeon the Publisher of Black Tie International Magazine (a Celebrity and Philanthropist Magazine).

 

Our guests included beautiful European Super Models (European Super Model and Beauty Queen Angilina Shipilina, who could not make it this time because she had a fashion show), but the other European Super Models who came were beginning with Liga Freimane, Elena Konovalova and Jana Respo. We were also joined by Richard Alan the Founder/Partner of Richard Alan Management (a modeling agency) and his friends, and Ciara Cummins, the Sales Director of McGettigan's - a very high end sports bar.

 

Our entertainment was by Opera Singer Estere Diva, Estere represented Israel in the European Song Festival the Eurovision with Alpha-Betha Group and won first place in Paris. She grew up with her father who is also an opera singer that is how she developed her love for music. Estere began her career as a Pop and Jazz singer and then later she developed her passion for classics. Of note: Estere always wows our guests every time she sings at our events.

We had an Art Exhibition by Henry M. Soto. Henry has a background in Architecture and Interior Design, and his passion for drafting and drawing inspired him to create art. Henry is a self-taught Columbian American Artist who offers unique innovative one-of-a-kind digital artwork this collection can be a part of your decor at your business and/or residences. Many of our guests were very impressed with his beautiful artworks.   Henry will be having another exhibition at our next event: the Christmas Celebration on December 2.  At the next show please do make sure to look at his paintings because he may have the perfect Christmas gift for you, or your friends and families. You can check out his website at

The evening lasted way past midnight again due to all of us and our guests having so much fun talking, sharing and networking.  As always we gave out our monthly door prizes to our lucky guests and the winner of the 5 night 4 day stay at a Cancun Resort was Batya Barlev, the Representative of the Israel Press Association. When the event ended, Gerard McKeon, Publisher of Black Tie International Magazine invited almost half of the guests to go to McGettigan's an Irish sports bar for an after party dinner and drinks which we enjoy monthly.
