A message from our new Social Director, Kim Darby
That’s Amore – An Evening in Italy
What a wonderful evening we shared at That’s Amore – An Evening in Italy! As your new Social Director, I would like to introduce myself—Kim Darby—and say how excited I am to step into this role and be part of such a vibrant and supportive community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and support as I transition into this position.
This event was nearly sold out, with 78 of 80 tickets spoken for, and the energy in the hall reflected that enthusiasm. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and full of connection—everything we hope our events will be.
