DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Manager General Manager Matthew Goo and his staff — including Karen Xie, Elvia Chaidez-Patterson, Claudia Hubbard, Kristin Pagdilao, and others — really know how to host fantastic events. They proved it again Thursday evening, Jan. 29, 2015, at a free Arcadia Chamber of Commerce Business Mixer where nearly 50 Chamber members were blown away by the elegant outdoor poolside patio setting that most had not experienced before. Adding to the elegant ambience amid poolside cabanas and comfortable seating around fireplaces was the cool jazz music and singing by live band Martini Five-O, along with a sumptuous spread of gourmet appetizers and a well-stocked bar.
More than a dozen raffle prizes were presented throughout the evening, donated by many different Chamber members who were introduced by Arcadia Chamber CEO Scott Hettrick and Vice President Vicki Knight. Each donor was given the opportunity to describe their business and then draw a winning business card. <Donors and winners listed below the following photo gallery…>[flagallery gid=268]
