  • Dear Francine I want to thank you for the wonderful 80th birthday party event you helped us plan. I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the undertaking and your calm demeanor, connections to excellent entertainment and organizational skills were immeasurable. Although I was entirely against the photo-booth idea, thinking it was for bar/bat mitzvahs and not older crowds, you assured me it would be a hit – and you were absolutely right! It was a highlight and the album you created was sensational. A coffee table addition. Thanks again and I look forward to the next event we plan together!
