INTERNATIONAL NIGHT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF MAGICAL! Mark H. Hurd

This year’s theme for the International Night/Trainees Around the World Show held on Saturday, April 28, was a Masquerade Ball titled “A Night to Remember.” And truly, what an unforgettable evening it was! Masked in mystery and draped in stylish attire, members drank libations and noshed on hors d’oeurves before moving into the main dining room

for dinner. There they found a feast fit for royalty with delicious and decadent dishes prepared by our Chefs. Guests dined on items from all over the world including Asian, American, European, Mediterranean, and African foods, which were served buffet style. After satisfying their hunger, members settled in for an evening of diverse and extraordinary entertainment. There was something for everyone! The emcees of the show, Mashesha, Minentle, and Mike along with Sipho, the DJ opened the show. They introduced the entertainers who hailed from far away places from all around the world: Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, India, Mexico,

the Philippines, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, and Vietnam. After all it was a “Trainees Around The World” program. Dressed in their native costumes, various entertainers performed their country’s traditional song or dance while others showed off their talents in more interpre- tative ways.

Desie and Gratsie performed a “Hip Hop” routine.

Steff showed us how creative mixing cocktails can be; Jee was silent during his mime act;

and, the Philippine contingent treated us to several acts: a traditional bamboo stick and coconut fan dance, a Philippine modern dance, a Filipino ballad (sung by Lee Mark); and, a Filipino solo (sung by Angelika).
