Milestones & Memories – A Night to Remember

Chic Compass pulled out all the stops for its latest launch at another sold-out event. Held at the fun and fabulous Loaded Empanadas on May 15 in Las Vegas, we introduced our cover star, Tony Pearson, and met many of the other fascinating individuals featured in this edition. It was an action-packed evening filled with celebrity performers, writers, designers, our valued advertisers, and many other interesting guests.

This edition is titled Only the Strong Survive, and I think you’ll agree with that sentiment once you read some of their touching stories. Check out our current issue to learn more about their incredible experiences.

In addition to the launch, we celebrated the Forgotten Song Foundation (FSF) and honored its 10 years of giving back to the art and music community in Las Vegas. FSF will close at the end of May, having awarded nearly $200,000 in grants and scholarships over the past decade.

We also bid a fond farewell to Parenti & Associates. It was my personal swan song to a company I’ve had for 38 years. Parenti & Associates was a multi-line manufacturer’s rep firm with clients from the architectural and design community specializing in hospitality and commercial design and construction.

The evening was filled with delicious food, sangria, wine, laughter and fun. We’d like to thank Anna Gomes for her hospitality and sponsorship of the evening, and Robert Dolan of Cashman Photo for sponsoring the event photography. A huge thank-you to all the guests who attended. It truly was a night to remember.

Chic Compass will be celebrating another milestone when we release our next edition in August—our eighth anniversary! Get ready to party with us once again. FSF and Parenti & Associates may be in the rearview mirror, but Chic Compass will keep following the compass toward our next exciting adventure!
