Looking back a little: T’was the twentieth night before Christmas or December 5, 2014, when all through the Tuscany Falls Ballroom PC Italian Club members and their guests were celebrating the awesome Poinsettia Ball. Comments included:
Decorations: “The elegant decorations nestled throughout the ballroom provided a festive Italian ambiance,” decorations throughout the room and on tables were magical.
Dinner: “From the entree salads to the main course choices with pasta accompaniments were beautifully presented and every bite was scrumptious,” “the food was excellent; family style courses (salad and pasta) made the evening seem really Italian.” The Banquet employees also did an outstanding job serving 286 Poinsettia Ball guests.
Desserts: “No sugar plums here,” comments were: “the desserts (at the 24 foot long Italian Sweets Table) were the best we have ever had at a large party; the desserts were incredible,” “the dessert table was awesome, not only the display but the taste of the delicious desserts was phenomenal,” “the Italian style dessert table was exquisite with homemade goodies” and “take home goodie bags a real treat.”
Band: comments included: “the PebbleRock band (with club members in the band) made the evening more special,” “the band appealed to the tastes of all, especially nice having Italian music as came into the ballroom,” “a real band made the evening even more special,” “the music provided by PebbleRock helped us work off some of the dining calories” and “the dancers forgot their ailments, kicked off their shoes and relived their younger days.”
Gifts and Raffle Baskets: “were over the top.”
Thank yous to Rose Ann Cleland, Kathy Veleta and all the members of the 2014 Poinsettia Ball Committee for planning and giving all the guests an outstanding evening. This guest comment summarizes the evening: “We have been going to the Ball since its inception and each year it is better than the one before. Great job by all involved, the music, the food, the sweets table, the personal gift, the raffle baskets, the dancing, were all terrific.”
