The evening of February 16 was a pleasant, snow covered evening. Shortly after 6 p.m. the 'founding members' of the Budapest Young Professionals began to arrive at the restaurant.

All together we were 24 charming, international individuals who came out to meet one another and be willing to go on to plan future events together. If this evening is to be an example -- we will have some wonderful times ahead. I look forward to getting to know each of you better and to organize programs that will be interesting and fun.

I would like to say a big "thank you" to the management and staff of Zebrano's Restaurant of the Andrassy Hotel. They provided us with great service and even better cake AND very generously gave a beautiful long stemmed rose for the ladies. THANK YOU!

Look for future programs and feel free to propose an event at any time. Thank you for coming out and sharing your evening.

Mark your calendars for March 17 and we will celebrate St. Patrick's day together - becoming Irish for the day.
