Chamber mixer was also a farewell party for David

Last night we attended one of the best Chamber networkers, it could be that it was at one of our favorite places, the Peacock Garden Cafe and it also was a going away party for one of our favorite people, David Guzikowski, Chamber Director, who is moving up north. Above are Gaea Garrity from Calamari, Richard Issa from Shake-A-Leg and David.


Far left is Lili Dones who is taking names down. She covers events for Community Newspapers, she's getting the names of, from left, Jeff Panky, Myriam Soberanes, Peter Guilierres and Rey Palacios.


We won! Ken Drodvillo, left, won a bottle of Tequila and I won the grand prize, this skyline painted photograph, created by local artist Johnny Valdez. I'm usually lucky in the Chamber raffles, I always win something.


Allison Cohen, self employed; Gloria Burns of Community Newspapers and Sandy Fernandez-Masciatti, branch manager of Regions Bank in Coconut Grove and new Chamber board member.


Amanda Alders, Laura and Pepe Oleas. Amanda has some big plans for culture and movie workshops in the Grove.


Erika King, Marilyn Tatman, Lilia Garcia.


Even though the party was in David's honor, he still managed to run the evening, he was working the entrance table, selling raffle tickets and here he is with Cely Pereda, calling the raffle prizes. I still don't know how the Chamber office is going to function without him.


Andres Lemos, the Chamber's membership consultant, looks on, as everyone listens for the raffle numbers.
