THE RASA ROSETTA AWARDS 2009
SALSA RESTAURANT ILLOVO
Dear RASA Members,
I am sure that you will all agree that the celebrations
surrounding the RASA ROSETTA Awards dinner hosted at
Salsa Restaurant in Illovo last night was a huge rip roaring
success and one to be remembered.
A Huge BIG thanks to SALSA restaurant for opening up their
home to all the opulent restauranteurs and industry
personalities who attended the Gala event.
All were welcomed with tantalizing cocktails sponsored by
Liquid Chefs as they waltzed down the red carpet looking
absolutely glamorous with none other than PJ Powers to steal
the hearts and souls of the entire audience with her breath
taking performance.
I would personally like to thank her for entertaining us in such
magnificent style with her invigorating performance and her
amazing magnetic energetic personality that captivated the
audience throughout the night.
We were dazzled by her presence and I have not stopped
receiving phone calls to compliment her and the success of the
evening.
Furthermore I would like to extend my congratulations to all the
RASA ROSETTA AWARD winners. I am proud to have
presented these awards to the nominees and am delighted at
the commitment shown towards striving for Service Excellence.
The RASA ROSETTA AWARD is an award of opulence - THE
BEST IN CLASS award and it is only given to those few who
truly deliver excellence. We recognized these individuals who
represent all that the award stands for.
