Earth Day Delights at Dacor

That same evening, following the CIOT Galleria tour, the Chapter convened at the Dacor showroom in the A&D building to enjoy fresh Earth Day-themed cocktails, mocktails, and light bites. Dacor’s state-of-the-art luxury appliances were the show's star as the chefs provided live demos while preparing delicious canapes. Meanwhile, mixologists on hand dazzled the crowd with aromatic smoke bubbles that tasted as good as they looked. Look for more event photos on Facebook by Jeff Siegel, click here.

The Chapter’s board made remarks and gave members key updates on upcoming initiatives, opportunities, and events. They also gave a special shout-out to volunteer opportunities available for interested members. Thank you to Erika Velazquez Orozco and the Decor team for their warm and welcoming hospitality for our NKBA Manhattan-NYC members.
