Thank You from PAAT
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for coming to our PAAT “Great Gatsby” Party last Friday, February 21, 2014 and for being with us as we celebrated our 38th Anniversary!
It was another successful event with about 245 guests in attendance all spectacularly dressed in Gatsby outfits that everybody is still talking about it. There were no long speeches except for my short welcome speech and the recognition of past PAAT presidents and their families. Food was catered by Bayan Catering ang the Merienda Cena by Jolen’s Catering. But the most popular conversation of the whole evening was the fantastic Gatsby decorations by Arlene Tolentino and the surprise Charleston dance number presented by the Tampa Bay Amateur Ballroom Dance Club led by Ner and Oscar Santos which was performed with great professionalism. Live music was provided by Evelyn Rhythm and Motion.
For those who didn’t make it, you missed a spectacular fun party! We all wished you were there to have fun with us.
I would also like to thank all who showed their undying support, as always, to PAAT by putting ads to our beautiful colorful souvenir program that was designed by none other than our very own Aurora Fortson who was given a big surprise for the evening and was bestowed with the “PAAT Outstanding Service Award”.
Maraming salamat and see you all at our Easter Family Picnic. Bring your favorite dish, your kids, grandkids and the whole family!
