Kiwi Night: Travel Down Under
An evening of great food, great coffee, great fellowship!
On Monday, April 3, 50 patrons filled the tables at Cassatt's: A Kiwi Café in Arlington for a special Kiwi Night featuring Joan's Travel Partners!
In celebration of our 20 th anniversary, Cassatt's owner Art Hauptman invited us to join their weekly Kiwi Night to provide patrons with travel information about New Zealand, along with their Kiwi Night menu, the vocal stylings of Kiwi native Ram, great door prizes, and special guests the Honorable Roy Ferguson, ambassador to the United States from New Zealand, and his wife, Dawn.
Our thanks and appreciation to:
- Art Hauptman, Cassatt's
- Juan, Dawn, Mary and the rest of the Cassatt's staff
- The Honorable Roy Ferguson and his wife Dawn, and Toni Mitchell at the New Zealand Embassy
Congratulations to our winners:
Alma Kasulaitis, Falls Church
Delicious Pavlova dessert
( Alma later emailed us to say: " I brought the Pavlova to our Pot Luck dinner tonight. Everyone loved it, especially me. I had three huge pieces myself. Had I know how good it was, it might not have made it to the Pot Luck. It was decadent.")
