Endre and Susan Pataky, loyal supporters of Amigos, celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on June 4 by hosting a fundraising party that raised 17,000 pesos (USD $973) for us. The money will help Susan pay for ingredients she will need for the food she plans to prepare for our Christmas market in December and our anniversary celebration next February.
Susan is a professional chef who loves to entertain at the Patakys’ beautiful home overlooking the city. And Endre is a gracious host and bartender. Their anniversary party featured a sumptuous East Indian buffet, served with yummy cocktails and wine. The party, attended by some 50 people, included a raffle of 12 prizes donated by the hosts and guests. Everyone had a great time.
Congratulations, Susan and Endre! And thanks to everyone who made the fundraising party such a success.
