NW Wed Pro: December 2012

Hello NW Wed Pro!

Just days until 2012 comes to an end. It was a very memorable year.

T and Mandy greeted and checked everyone in.

The NW Wed Pro Holiday Party was a huge success. Hosted at the Tumwater Room in Oregon City, everyone contributed to make this a fun event. Photos have been posted on the NW Wed Pro Facebook page.

A huge Thank You to Darrell of The Tumwater Room AND Alimenti Catering for all of his hard work and hours putting this together. The space looked beautiful and the food and service was top notch.

Wonderful Staff of the Tumwater Room.

I’d also like to thank Eric of Chef du Jour for bringing fantastic food to the event even though he couldn’t stay for the party. He was swamped with catering jobs that night but still provided us with the entrée and appetizers. Wow, KUDOS to you!

Bust A Move, Dancin Tunes & High Fidelity "DJ Moves"

Our entertainment director for the evening was Craig of High Fidelity Entertainment, and boy did he ever entertain us! We had contests, games, prizes, dance lessons and lots of dancing.

Dancin Tunes PhotoBooth

To remember the evening, we all went home with fun photo booth pictures from Trevor at Dancin Tunes. The tables were decorated with holiday linens from Barclay Event Rentals and had center pieces created by Dream Team Events, Purple Iris Weddings & Events and Bella Giorno Events.

Throughout the evening we had a wonderful selection of wines by Buddha Kat Winery plus some wine provided by Radiant Touch Weddings. Dessert for the evening was by Seriouscake.com with delicious cake pops and cupcakes.

The floral displays by JBlooms made for lovely décor and also great door prizes at the end of the evening. Speaking of door prizes, thank you to everyone else that attended for bringing a door prize. We had such great donations from gift cards to wine baskets including two $50 gift certificates for Amadeus Manor, golf at Sah-Hah-Lee Golf Course, movie passes, Fred Meyer GC and much more.

We all had a great time with the White Elephant gift exchange. Everyone selected one gift then we voluntarily swapped with others if we wanted to. Interesting items were in some of those wrappings. LOL

I’ve received so many compliments on this event saying that it was the BEST Network Association party of the year! Thank you for making this a great year for NW Wed Pro and I look forward to seeing each of you at our monthly meetings in 2013.

I will notify you soon of the January 9^th or 16^th location.

In February we will meet at Sah-Hah-Lee Golf Course on the 13^th.
