The Lighthouse Club Pattaya broke its own record for
attendance at March’s networking night at the Hilton Hotel’s Drift lounge
with over 300 guests, including Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome, coming out
to enjoy themselves and raise money for charity.
The event was sponsored by Global Insurance and Rainer
Heinzmann had his team make a big impression on the guests. Magician Howard
Posener also performed some tricks, much to the amazement of the networkers.
The Hilton did a great job with the drinks and snacks and
at only 600 baht entry fee its very good value. Of course ladies get in for
the reduced rate of only 300 baht. On entry fees alone, 125,000 baht was
raised, which will be managed by the Melissa Cosgrove Children’s Foundation
to help kids in Pattaya and beyond.
Cees Cuijpers and the LHC committee did a great job
organizing the event.
What started off as a networking event for those in the
real estate market has now became a party that anyone can join, meet new
friends, maybe do some business and help the kids with a glass of wine in
your hand.
The next Lighthouse Club Pattaya Networking will be held
on April 1 at Zula Bar at the Centara Grand Mirage and will be sponsored by
Heights Holdings.
