British Red Cross

British Red Cross a tribute to Annie Lennox letter of thanks

On behalf of The International Fundraising Committee of the British Red Cross may I extend our heartfelt thanks for helping us to make the ‘Tribute to Annie Lennox’ on World Aids Day, 01 December 2009, at Guildhall such a fantastic event. I know Annie was thrilled with the evening and quite overwhelmed by the amazing show of friendship and support from everyone who participated and was present.
We were very grateful for the extremely generous deal which you gave us on the catering and decor. The food was good and the room looked beautiful. I was told by Jeremy that you were extremely helpful and obliging to work with and for this we thank you most sincerely.
Although primarily to highlight and recognise the achievements and humanitarian accomplishments of Annie Lennox; her work of course goes hand-in-hand with that of the British Red Cross — to help where we can and inspire others to do the same. Your generosity was also a wonderful show of support for this work.
The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. We are part of a global network of volunteers, responding to natural disasters, conflicts and individual emergencies, including many ongoing HIV prevention and assistance projects all over the world. We enable vulnerable people at home and overseas to prepare for and respond to emergencies, and when the crisis is over, we help people to recover and move on with their lives. The money raised from this event will help us to continue with this work.
Once again thank you for all you did to support The British Red Cross and Annie Lennox and I hope we will have the opportunity to work with you again at some of our future International Fundraising Committee events.
With deep gratitude

Maria Shammas MBE
Chairman International Fundraising Committee, Vice President British Red Cross

The City of London's Court Leet of the Guildable Manor
of the Town and Borough of Southwark

Bridge House Yard Dinner  - St George’s Hall 17 September  At the Officers meeting of the Manor held today it was unaminously agreed that a fulsome letter of thanks be written to you for your services at our annual dinner.  With our having such senior City guests as the Chief Commoner, both Sheriff Ian Luder and Sheriff Michael Bear, also the two Sheriffs ‘Elect’, messrs Gillon and Gifford, the City Remembrancer and the Queen’s Remembrancer as well as the Masters of both the Skinners and Girdlers, among others, it was crucial to our reputation that this event went well. You and your team were considered excellent and the food was described by our members as the best we had ever had. I know the visiting civic dignitaries described it as excellent. You ensured a very well managed evening from Reception through to Dinner and Loving Cup. What you also provided was the ambient lighting and floral arrangements which softened the harshness of this very new venue’s recent redecoration. This was very thoughtful, we had not considered it and are grateful for your professionalism in providing this as part of the package. I can add that we shall be placing further event catering with ‘The Cook & The Butler’ at this venue and in any others were we can have the choice.

Langbourn Ward Club

Dear Mark
Once again, on behalf of Pauline and myself, and the Langbourn Ward Club, thank you very much indeed for all your efforts and endeavours on our behalf. Personally I thought the food was fantastic, and the lamb cutlets were cooked to perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed the Welsh Salmon, and it was a pity the Lord Mayor missed out, although Sheriff Luder certainly enjoyed it.

The whole meal was beautifully prepared and superbly balanced. All the comments that I, the President, the Secretary and Pauline received about the meal were highly complimentary – and referred to in terms such as the ‘best ever meal that they had had  at a Civic function’. Please convey our sincere thanks to the Chef, kitchen staff and to Paulina and her  team of waiters/waitresses. They did a magnificent job.

Thank you also, for the table numbering provision. Just the job. As for the flower arrangements, they were fantastic, and all the ladies who took them away were very fulsome in their praise as to how nice they were. Very many thanks indeed. Thank you for being there, and supervising the process personally. Very many thanks. It was a wonderful occasion not least because of the cuisine, the time you took in planning it, the modifications you made after our tasting, and the way it was cooked, presented and served. A first class outcome.

Regards Pauline

Dinner at Temple Bar St. Paul’s Cathedral

Dear Mark,

I’m just writing to thank you so very much for arranging such a superb Menu for the Celebration Dinner Party for Eric and our friends on Tuesday 6th March.  Without exception, everyone said what an honour it was to wine and dine in such unique style in the most wonderful setting of Sir Christopher Wren’s little gem - Temple Bar, Paternoster Square.

The food, wine and service was first class and for all it will remain a remarkable and most memorable evening, especially for the Birthday Boy!  Of particular interest was the delightfully pretty Flower of Courgette stuffed with Lobster Mousse and the Saffron Sauce.  The Rack of Lamb was greatly appreciated; the colourful Trio of Summer Dessert produced some ooh’s and mmm’s and by the time the Plate of Cheese arrived, the belts were beginning to loosen!!  The choice of wines was excellent and the Birthday Cake was said to be a perfect and fitting conclusion to the Celebration Dinner.

To have the evening so successfully organised within the space of less than a week was remarkable. All credit is due to the professionalism of you Mark and your company. As mentioned when I first introduced myself, you came so highly recommended that the outcome was never in doubt.

With all good wishes.
Maureen Bonanno-Smith
