Singles Parties, January 11 - February 8, 2014

Despite the largest storm in over a year, our Valentines Ball at The Fairmont, Feb 8, attracted a huge crowd! I was concerned because earlier I had predicted 500+ would attend, and was afraid that my credibility would be shot, through no fault of my own, if the rain scared everyone away. It was a high-energy, well-dressed crowd (most appropriate for the elegance of The Venetian Room) and DJ Mike Keating did another terrific job for us.

OTHER PARTIES DURING THIS PERIOD:

• Bay Lights Dance with Speed Dating, Jan 11 at Sinbad's in San Francisco. That 8 million dollar backdrop gave the right ambience for another fun party at Sinbad's, with a good turnout. Thank you to Julia and Tom of Your Asian Connection, for running the speed dating and bringing the large dance floor! Next Speed Dating/Dance Party is on March 29 in San Jose (see below).
• New Years Resolutions Mixer, Jan 16, at The Spinnaker in Sausalito. A clear night meant another spectacular view of San Francisco and the Bay! Good turnout. Thank you to The Spinnaker for the great appetizers!
