A Grandeur Thank-You Gala for Members of
This coming 5th Oct marks the 6th anniversary of being actively expanding its customer base in the dynamic hospitality industry in its host city. Being a premier hotel that best known for its friendly services and its vibrant western fused with eastern ambience, ensures its employees are constantly being acknowledged of their services and contributions to the hotel. As a token of appreciation for their services to the hotel all year long, Eunice hotel is organizing the ever grandest evening gala for all the members and their families in the hotel’s Queen Ballroom which can accommodate up to 5,000 people.

A fund-raising counter will be set up that night at the grand entrance to the ballroom. Members of The Orphanage House will be there to greet everyone with a beautifully handmade ribbon as they make their way into the exquisitely decorated ballroom.

The only "hook" I see here is the connection to the charity. But I'm still not clear on whether the s
