FRED TIBBITTS & ASSOCIATES FIFTEENTH
ANNUAL
?A Spring Evening in New York with Very
Special Friends?
The Union League Club, New York City, 1
March 2011
New York City ? The Fifteenth Annual FTA ?A Spring Evening
in New York with Very Special Friends? at The Union League Club proved to be
another memorable event for the one hundred-thirty-five guests, who included two
of the FTA 2011 honorees, hotel and restaurant senior executives, presidents,
vice presidents, managing directors, industry VIP?s, industry press and
sponsors.
The reception was trade show style, showcasing the products
and services of the sponsors. All
guests were formally announced.
The four-course gala dinner brought Fred Tibbitts, Jr.,
President & CEO of Fred Tibbitts & Associates, Inc. to the podium, who welcomed
the guests and within his opening remarks, urged one and all to do more for
those less fortunate. Tibbitts then
called for the ecumenical prayers by some of the most renowned clergy in
America. The Reformed Grace by Rett
Zabriskie, Domine, The Holland Society of New York was one of wit and substance;
the Old Catholic Church in America Grace by Reverend Alexandra Honigsberg asked
for peace; the Tibetan Buddhist Grace by the Venerable Lama Pema Wangdak was
said and then chanted with deep abiding serenity in Tibetan.
And Stacy Offner, Rabbi, Adath Emanue-El spoke of the ?Graces? and why
they offer the fruit of the vine.
The fifteen Loyalty Toasts by several of the dinner?s
VIP?s, including Pam Inman, Executive Vice President & COO, American Hotel &

Fred Tibbitts asked Khenpo Lama Pema Wangdak, Director of
