“Industry Ball ‘09” at Epic Event Center – Sunday, January 18, 2008
… A very special message from Ms. Anna Senrick – Hello and Happy New Year to Everyone…
I would be honored if you could join me for a night of celebration to bring in the New Year. For many of us in the hospitality industry, we found ourselves working through the night of December 31, 2008 and didn’t get the chance to celebrate for ourselves. We all deserve a night to kick back and let someone else work while we enjoy ourselves.
For those of you who know me well; I work as a wedding consultant at Fete Perfection, Corporate Sales Consultant at Epic Event Center, and owner of my own stationery business – Plan My Paper.
located at Epic Event Center located at 510 1st Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55403 – (612) 332-3742. (Get directions)
I hope you can all join me and make 2009 another fun filled year. Please feel free to pass this along to co-workers, colleagues, and friends in the industry. Don’t hesitate to bring guests as well.
Thank you to all who have worked with me in 2008 and I look forward to more ventures in 2009.
Hope to see you all on Sunday, January 18th.
