Hi Elias:
Last night was fabulous. Everyone had a great time and loved the music. Needless to say the dancing towards the end of the evening was fun and made a nice end to a lovely evening. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our holiday party such a special hit.

Please plan on saving 2017, the first Saturday in December for us. Confirm that you will put us on your calendar.

Best wishes for a wonderful and successful 2017.
