Parties, June 15-17, 2006

This week we had two Lock & Key parties, a Wine Tasting Party, and a Single Fathers Day Party.

The first Lock & Key was on Thursday, June 15 at the Flamingo Resort Hotel in Santa Rosa. Great venue, terrific food. It was the best Lock & Key we've had so far (I guess we're learning how to do it right!) The big plus was the Karaoke Party afterwards. Terrific singers--the crowd loved them. Most of us were dancing, also, on the Flamingo's giant dance floor. We definitely want to come back again!

The second Lock & Key & Dance, Friday, June 16, was at the Holiday Inn Fairfield. The party was enjoyed thoroughly by the small crowd, and the food was plentiful.

Our Wine Tasting Party on Saturday, June 17, was at O'Neill's, a new nightclub near AT&T Ball Park. We did a party here a couple of years ago when it was called The Park. Good turnout, the wines (as always) were great, and Owen O'Neill was very generous with the food. The one negative was that Owen told me in the middle of our Wine Tasting Party that there would be a DJ instead of the live band that had been promised us. Nobody complained, and the DJ played all of our favorite hits, but I wish I had known there would not be a band earlier, so I could have notified everyone by email.

Our annual Single Fathers Day Party, on the eve of traditional Fathers Day, at Embassy Suites San Rafael,
went well. I checked in on the party at 11:30pm on my way home from O'Neill's and the dance floor was packed.

Next week features our annual Silicon Valley Singles Convention, Friday, June 23, at the lovely 4-star Sofitel Hotel in Redwood Shores. We are hoping for a mammoth turnout! Lisa Altalida, author of Dating Boot Camp, will inspire everyone during her entertaining Keynote Address, followed by Dance Party, featuring DJ Miguel of Startracks.

The following weekend we have two exciting parties: Lock & Key & Dance in SF on June 30 and our annual Fireworks Party on July 1st, with a nice view of the spectacular Marin County fireworks!

Hope you all have a great Summer!
