Training Innovations 9th annual Christmas Party
Training Innovations recently had our ninth annual Christmas party. We would like to say thanks to everybody who was able to attend. We would also like to say thanks to Garcia’s Kitchen for catering the event. Awards were given to clients that lost 25lbs or more, 50lbs or more, and even 75lbs or more. A most improved physique award was also given out again this year. There was a raffle give away with tons of prizes ranging from gift restaurant gift certificatesto gourmet boxes of truffles. A great time was had by all.

Steven, Kyle and myself transformed the gym into a banquet hall
To begin the evening, I started giving out raffle tickets.
Before long, the place started filling up.
Garcia’s Kitchen arrived early to set up. Steve Norris from Dion’s Pizza provided 8 specialty pizzas and a pizza warmer to keep them warm.
Garcia’s Kitchen provided water and passion fruit punch.
The dessert table didn’t disappoint
There was so much food, Will couldn’t make up his mind.
Courtney Brazely couldn’t make up his mind either.
Garcia’s did an awesome job serving everyone the delicious food.
Elaine Kortan & Andrea Medina were so happy to be off of their diets for the evening.
Marilyn Bujak was also completely tickled to be off of her diet for the evening.
Jerry Reeder asking which was lower in calories, the red or green chili chicken enchiladas.
My mom pretending that she only wanted a small portion of Spanish rice.
Curtis was in heaven. Residing in Florida, he doesn’t get to sample a lot of good Mexican food.
Everybody enjoying a good meal.

I couldn’t resist the urge to partake in the delicious dinner

After the meal it was time to get down to business
I started by showing my gratitude to Steven & Kyle for their invaluable service and dedication to helping me change our clients lives. They each got a Christmas bonus.
