Huzzahs to you great chef!

I hope you are celebrating something special. Your menu looks splendido. Buon appetito.

What a menu! Cheers to a wonderful evening. What will you be drinking?

19:00, right?

We are honoring a lady named Tynesia, so Ty-tinis!

I recently read something about a young woman with this name who has done great things in Washington DC. What a nice celebration.

She is a super star Duke EE and Harvard MBA on to GE and then decided to give back to society. I am in awe of her.

Lloyd has his own Chardonnay? He never said.

Very nice! Sounds like you planned a beautiful evening for a lovely woman. What's in a Ty-tini?

And she's got one up on you, Jean. She's got brains, talent, AND beauty!

I read a bit about her achievements. What a great American story. Can't say enough about education, perseverance, and hard work paying off.

What caterer did you use? k.

Purple Onion -- we've been working with her since she started.
