The Fabulous FEW 2018 Bonenkai Featured “All That Glitters”

Riya Rapp, FEW President

The glamorous atmosphere of the restaurant matched perfectly with the theme of the night, with the FEW Bonenkai team adding some more bling onto it with sparkly Christmas decorations and balloons. FEW President Riya Rapp opened the party with a speech to thank all of our members and sponsors for the productive year of 2018, and raised the toast with welcoming Kir Royal cocktails.

After the toast, the buffet including various finger foods, delicious main dishes, and theme-inspired desserts was opened. Everyone rushed to take their share. The spacious hall was soon filled with women and men chatting with friends old and new, and having a great time.
