Tampa Chamber 123rd Annual Meeting

Yesterday I covered the Tampa Chamber 123rd Annual meeting at the Tampa Convention Center. There were over 800 chamber members (myself included:-) in attendance so it was a very large event! Master of Ceremonies was Keith Cate from News Channel 8 and USF's Judy Genshaft, who was the 2008 Chairperson, passed the gavel onto Henry Gonzalez III from the Bank of Tampa. Judy was joined by the marching band and even Rocky the Bull. I also met the officers from Carbon Motors Corporation, who were in town looking at Tampa as a possible place to re-locate their company, more on that in the next post!! Here's a sneak peek of the pictures and the entire album will be available at www.pictage.com/601789

NACE Holiday Gala at the Ritz Ybor

This past Sunday I had the honor of capturing the National Association of Catering Executives Holiday Gala at The Ritz Ybor. The event was a benefit and silent auction for The Spring of Tampa Bay, which is a really great organization that provides a sanctuary and services to victims of domestic violence. So many great sponsors contributed to making this event a huge success!! The Ritz was set up with a room that was totally white and one that was red and black with these really trendy cabanas that were draped out by Quest Drape, furniture by Room Service, linens by Connie Duglin and Panache . The florals and center pieces were by Botanica International Design Studio. Invitations by Not From a Box, catering was done by Amicis, Chefs on the Loose, Catering by Design, Cafe Ala Carte and Hunters Green Country Club. Entertainment was by Inspire Entertainment and Breezin. Aymee, from Brides.com, Zoe, from Botanica, and Sandy, from Sandy Rule Events did a wonderful job coordinating the entire event. Below you can see a sneak peek!
