2006 Holiday Luau What a great year we had and what a great
party to celebrate the year!
Big Sur Technologies
celebrated a very successful year by throwing a
fabulous luau at the Dolphin Beach Resort in St.
Pete Beach. Great tropical food, a raffle to benefit
the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay, and
an amazing performance of Hawaiian and Tahitian
dancing by a renowned dance team - the night was
amazing!
In place of a traditional Christmas Holiday
party that would have people stuffed in their
rented tuxedos and ladies in their best cocktail
dresses, Big Sur Technologies took the holiday
party theme and spun it into a casual tropical
festival of food, fun and dance. The doors at the
Dolphin Beach Resort opened at 7PM for a tropical
cocktail hour. A tropical buffet dinner
followed and everyone enjoyed island delights ranging from Salmon Cucumber
Canapes, Coconut Shrimp and Crabmeat Mushroom Caps to Seafood Pasta Salad,
Pineapple Glazed Spare Ribs and Baked Mahi Mahi with "Dirty" Brown
Rice.
As everyone enjoyed dinner, they were entertained
by traditional Hawaiian dance that was performed
by three lovely dancers from the renowned Karina's
Dance Studio. After
the performance, Sam Sandusky, CEO, welcomed the guests and spoke briefly
about the successes of 2006. He thanked the generous sponsors of
the event and then gave out three "Maholo" awards as a token
of deep gratitude to APC, HP, and Messaging Architects. He then recognized
managers Don Zurbrick (Sales) and Charles Love (Technical Services) for
their exceptional devotion to the company. Both managers proceeded to give
out awards for excellence to the top sales executive and the top engineer.
Gerard Roy was recognized for his top sales revenue performance and Brad
Wagner was recognized as a "Rising
Star" in the engineering sector.
The party was then cranked up another notch as the dance team came out again
and demonstrated another favorite style - Tahitian dance. This fast
paced, drum inspired, routine got everyone fired up and several volunteers
were bought on to the floor for a wild and hilarious rendition of amateur
Tahitian dancing. After
everyone unlocked their dislocated hips, the floor was opened to another
stunt show... they all enjoyed an island version of limbo!
Soon thereafter,
the charity raffle was held to benefit the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa
Bay. Big Sur raised over $1300 and raffled off many
great prizes, some of which were five iPods, two digital cameras, a 42" LCD
TV, and a two night stay at the Dolphin Beach Resort.
All in all, the party
was a big hit. Everyone went home with memories
of a successful 2006 as well as a luau bash that would not be forgotten soon.
