So said PBCA president Mary Robosson during her greeting at the event, which took place Dec. 13 at The Breakers.
Robosson said it was wonderful to see so many members in person, celebrating the holidays in the Venetian Ballroom of the hotel, which was decorated for the holidays in truly grand style.
“We are tonight celebrating you — each and every one of you — for your contributions to the Civic Association and for the way you engage in our various forums and programs,” Robosson said.
The reception included cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and music by Bob Merrill and his society orchestra.
Bob Wright, CEO and chairman of the Civic Association, also offered brief remarks, thanking the organization’s members and directors for their ongoing support.
“We’re very happy to be back here at The Breakers, celebrating the holidays together as we have so many other years,” Wright said.
Wright also gave a shout-out to PBCA vice chairs Michael Pucillo and Michele Kessler and Robosson for their leadership.
The Civic Association's 79th year of programming continues with several events scheduled, including its Annual Award Breakfast featuring bestselling author James Patterson as keynote speaker, on March 22 at The Breakers.
David and Suzanne Frisbie of the Frisbie Group sponsored the party.
More than 400 people attended, including Roy Muro, Karen Berger, Bob Wright, Nancy Stone, Michael and Anne Small, John David Corey, Miguel Rosales, Mindy Greenfield, Mary Ann Ehrlich, Peter Gottsegen and Felicia Taylor Gottsegen, former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter with his wife Janet Pleasants, George and Marlene Borey and a ho-ho-whole bunch more.
