Our June Chapter 6 Networking event was a tremendous success! We at Forward/Adelante are deeply grateful to have the business community standing alongside us as we celebrate our 2-year anniversary. The event on June 8th gave testimony to the power found in business diversity. A huge thanks goes out to our hostess, Dr. Christina Ball, owner of Speak! Language Center, for offering her lovely venue and her words of wisdom about the importance of bilingualism.
Miss Dandry Then, owner of Cazon Tropical Restaurant, honored us with her presence and treated us to an exquisite array of appetizers which can only be found at her cozy restaurant in Charlottesville. We are also thankful to Nicole Fernandez, Branch Manager of BB&T on Barracks Rd., for sponsoring the event.
Finally, we want to acknowledge Nayantara Kabir, our evening's photographer, as well as Steve and Kat from Shergold Dance Studios, who left the audience in awe with their performance of a hot and sexy salsa dance!
