Campbell said, “This means a lot to see how much we are appreciated by the top companies in the country and we are grateful to Aleem and the team for everything they have done.” Ross echoed those sentiments adding, “We look forward to another grand event in 2022.”
The golf-themed evening (decor by Party Castle, Michelle, Nikita, Philip and Steve) started with guests walking the green carpet with velvet ropes, treated to wine, hors d’oeurves, and music before being served an international menu for dinner, Italian pastas, Parmesan Chicken, Spanish Rice, Moroccan Beef topped off with Mexican flan for dessert.
