On Wednesday, September 18th the La Mesa Chamber and the Santee Chamber were hosted by the leadership team of Lantern Crest Senior Living to another great annual evening mixer. We have always enjoyed getting together with Kristine Dare and her staff of the Santee Chamber to attend this annual activity and this year did not disappoint! Chef Phil pulled out all the “stops” to serve the most delicious selections. If you like shrimp, it was served in a variety of ways, the fresh shrimp with cocktail sauce was a hit, along with the grilled shrimp was plentiful. The lamb on skewers and chicken on skewers were amazing and a popular choice for attendees. The desserts were magnificent. Chef Phil and his team must have had over 15 different types of dessert that we could choose from, and the different styles of cupcakes were a crowd pleaser. The fun began at 5:00 p.m. for this opportunity to mix and mingle with members from these two chambers. All guests received two complimentary drink tickets, along with an opportunity to participate and have a chance to win raffle items provided by Lantern Crest Senior Living and the two chambers. We were hosted in the upstairs outdoor area that was magnificent. This outdoor setting was not only beautiful, but made guests think they were transported to a vacation destination. We want to thank Bobi Thomas, Executive Sales & Marketing Director, Chef Phil, and the entire staff of Lantern Crest for a fantastic evening – can’t wait until next year!
