"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation
for all that each of you did to make our first ‘Vision of
Hope’ award dinner so very successful. …I was most concerned
over our ability to pull such a huge event off. …Perhaps Lorelei
should have as its motto ‘You are in Good Hands with Lorelei.’
I mean that in all sincerity."
Sister Nancy DeCesare, IHM
(Former) Executive Director Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York, Inc.
"I don’t know where to begin or how to thank you. Our phones
have been ringing off the hook all day with board members, honorees,
staff and guests saying congratulations….This would never
have happened without you – it was you and your incredible
staff that made it happen. Now I understand what people mean when
they say, ‘Oh, it was a Lorelei event’."
Mary Balaban
Vice President for Institutional Advancement
Metropolitan College of New York
"We would like to thank you
for all of your help and participation in making our shoot so successful.

with you again in the future."

"I want you to know
how proud I am to have been part of the LaGuardia Tradition Dinner
that fulfilled entirely the goal explained to me….Your strong
guiding hand made this dinner stand out from so many events I attend
in the same setting. Thanks for making a special evening for me
and my family even more memorable."

"I would like to take this opportunity to
extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you on behalf of my wife Lillian
and myself, for all of your efforts leading up to and during the
Associated Black Charities’ Black History Makers Awards Dinner.
Throughout my involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, I have been
humbled by the many organizations that have taken the time to acknowledge
my efforts. And the fact is never lost on me that with each of these
instances there are some persons behind the scenes making these
events possible … I would be remiss if I did not let you know
how incredibly relaxing and enjoyable your advance preparation made
our evening."
Dick Gregory
"Bouquets and congratulations for the wonderful
work you did in preparation for last night’s event…your
diligence, initiative, style, and efficiency were certainly in evidence
throughout the process…I will be delighted to serve as a reference
for you at any time."
Donna E. Shalala
(Former) President, Hunter College
"…I want
to express our deep appreciation for the whole team at Lorelei for
the vital contribution you provided to the success of our recent
10th anniversary gala. …The production of such an event requires
the tact of a diplomat, the logistical ability of a military supply
officer, and the artistic flair of a Broadway producer. Lorelei,
through its wonderful staff, fulfilled all of the requisite demands
in abundance."
Kenneth I. Wirfel, Esq.
Board Chair, Cooke Center
"Thank you so much for everything
you did to make our benefit a resounding success. Without you, it
would never have happened – at least not so smoothly. You
were key in pulling together all the threads that made everything
work, and it was a pleasure to work with such calm, professional
people."
Mary Diaz
(Former) Director, Women’s Commission for Refugee
Women and Children
"Your staff is hardworking and professional.
They accomplish their tasks efficiently and promptly with optimism
and good humor. All of this comes from your leadership….We
believe the success of last evening’s event was largely due
to Lorelei’s efforts on our behalf."
Bridgett Lundy
Co-President, The Auxiliary of St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan
"Thank
you so very much for all of your hard work!! It was a wonderful
evening. I’m hearing "congratulations" and "beautiful
night" and "great job" from donors, board members
and staff approximately every 3 minutes! And, the Dean looks 10
years younger today – thanks to you."
Rebecca Tekula
Director of Development, Interfaith Center
"This is just a line
of thanks to all of you at Lorelei who did so much to make the Hartnell
Fashion Show for Sadler’s Wells on 7 March the success it
was. You know how much faith and confidence we have in your organization….Princess
Margaret made a point of commenting on the success of the occasion."
Stephen Remington
Director, Sadler’s Wells, London
"There is tremendous
spunk and energy and insightfulness evident in the work that you
all do, and a dedication to a good end result which is inspiring."
Kathryn Madden, Ph.D.
Dean & CEO, Blanton-Peale Institute
"Congratulations to
Lorelei on a truly wonderful Insurance Leader of the Year Dinner….On
behalf of the honoree, Jack Byrne…we were delighted in every
way with the professional job that Lorelei did, not the least of
which was breaking all previous records for attendance and money
raised."
Terry L. Baxter

"On behalf of the United Negro
College Fund, it is my pleasure to extend a warm thank you to you
and your entire staff for a job well done…We could not have
raised $1million without a great team whose efforts were exceptional.
From start to finish, the execution of the program was managed very
well by all."
