Wine and Tapas event a huge success

Happy couple choose dinner cruise for engagement party

 

Wine and Tapas event a huge success

Great food, great wine, lovely surroundings

A wonderfully successful “Wine and Tapas” evening at The House restaurant was organized recently by Charity Party committee members Sally Ward and Jo Baggaley on behalf of next year’s Hillside 4 Charity Rooftop party.

The event was a sell-out, with over 70 people networking and having a great time on a lovely evening in a beautiful setting. For those feeling slightly heat-sensitive at the end of the hot season, Hans, the owner of The House, had thoughtfully provided fans which dispensed a fine spray of water, which, although much appreciated, thankfully didn’t cool the guests’ enthusiasm for the delicious array of tapas provided, or the extremely generous amounts of fine wine poured by The House’s staff, all intent on providing the best service ever! Which, all agreed, they did, with great success. The tapas, of course, were provided by The House, and were pronounced “outstanding” by all; the wine, provided by Horeca, the well-known local food and beverage company, (who are also helping to sponsor the wines at the upcoming dinner at the Coq d’Or), was the Mont Clair, both red and white, which has won wine industry prizes for its excellence, and was obviously much appreciated…in quantity!
Hans enhanced the evening by donating a dinner for two at the restaurant, and he and Chachai, the restaurant’s manager, were thanked again for their continued and much valued support of the Charity Party over the years. A total of over 17,000 baht was raised, both from the event itself and from the raffle which was held during the evening. After the event, the organisers received a good number of emails thanking them for a lovely evening. A huge success - which will, hopefully, be repeated in September. To those who missed it this time - book early!
A total of 42,000 baht has been raised to date towards the goals of the 5th Annual Rooftop Party next January. The next event planned is a Wine Dinner at the Coq d’Or on May 20. Tickets, which are selling fast, cost 2,100 baht, and can be purchased at Hillside 4 Condos reception desk or from Sally on seward@csloxinfo.com.
On August 2, there will be a dinner at the Amari Rincome at which the charity or charities will be chosen for next year. If you would like to put your charity forward for consideration as a potential recipient, please contact charityrooftopparty @gmail.com. Last year’s party raised over 930,000 baht which enabled the purchase of a specially adapted truck plus essential tools and equipment for a well-known local charity which helps the disabled by providing them with specially made wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

 

Happy couple choose dinner cruise for engagement party

Last week was a very special time for Todd Cikraji and Benjamas Inthata, for a very special reason - Todd proposed to Benjamas, and was over the moon when she accepted! The happy couple, both teachers at Chiang Mai’s Dara Academy, planned to celebrate their engagement by inviting friends and family to a dinner at the Riverside Restaurant, and to make it a very “different” occasion, they decided on a Riverside Restaurant Boat Cruise, with a delicious meal served afloat. Ajarn June, the assistant director of Dara Academy, acted as Todd’s “Mum” for the day, and Benjamas’s parents Tanayawat and Nimit Inthata brought with them a very special guest, Grandma Jutamat, 82 years old and a former English teacher herself. Although the weather was far from kind, the rainy season having begun somewhat early this year, both the pier and the boat had been decorated with beautiful flowers, making the night especially memorable for Todd, Benjamas and their family and friends. We wish them well.
