On Dec. 18, a crowd of about 70 people braved the weather and headed to the Hyatt Regency Crown Center for the 2008 KCMPI Annual Holiday Party. Guests were greeted by the cocktail of their choice, passed hors d'oeuvres, and wonderful networking.

The group headed into the ballroom to an elegantly decorated table setup. Fiddly Fig donated gorgeous centerpieces. The Hyatt arranged for Merlot Bichon linens with ivory chair covers and napkins from BBJ Linens along with gold chargers donated by Studio Dan Meiners. Each place setting had a couple of extra special treats. Chocolate covered cherries were donated by Sweet Perfection Handmade Confections and a holiday CD was donated by LeeWayne Corporation. 

While guests settled into their seats for a delicious plated dinner prepared by the Hyatt's seasoned culinary team, a background trio compliments of Dare to Be Creative provided entertainment during the dinner hour. Vista Productions brought in accent lighting to better accentuate the space.

Following dinner, guests were able to select from a large dessert display. Then it was time for the raffle. Attendees had brought canned goods or money to earn chances at prizes. The donations benefitted Harvesters, which is in dire need of assistance with the current economic situation. There were a large number of sponsors who donated items for the raffle. Although not everyone won a prize, a good time was had by all!

Thank you to all our wonderful sponsors for making the 2008 Holiday Party another memorable event!
