What a true delight to attend our recent chapter meeting at the showroom of the True Residential Design Center — our event host and a NY Manhattan Chapter sponsor. Beverages flowed, bites were passed, and attendees took turns spinning the wheel to win a variety of prizes. NKBA Manhattan President Charle-John Cafiero spoke about exciting new student initiatives and we inducted Diana Mosher as Membership Chair and Tony Monteleone as Treasurer. Showroom specialist Emily Mazzei walked us through the retro-yet-modern refrigerator designs. With the press of a button, the handy transparent glass-front refrigerator doors can be darkened, just in case your shelves are not quite staged and ready for their “company’s here” close-ups! Otherwise, your fruits, vegetables, and bubbly can be beautifully and easily displayed. Showroom Manager Wes Lind explained that what makes TRUE unique is the fact that they have been family-owned for 75+ years and they craft every item in-house in St. Louis, Missouri, including the LED lights inside the refrigerators. Thank you to True Residential for hosting this evening, where NKBA members and guests had a chance to see old friends and make some new ones too, in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Now that’s cool!
