Hello Mrs. Burns “ I just wanted to reach out to thank you for such a wonderful event celebrating Caribbean-American Heritage Month that took place in Miramar on June 6th 2015.
I had a great time, met a lot of good people, sampled a few products and best of all won a weekend cruise to the Bahamas and also a gift certificate to Royal India Restaurant. The atmosphere and the mood was so very positive for me that after leaving your event my blessings continued. A would be customer for the past six months finally called me and ordered 3 boxes of my product and I do believe that came about because of that positive energy I received from your event that stayed with me throughout the evening. What more can I ask for. I applaud you for hosting such a great event with a variety of products, services and entertainment. I am looking forward for your next event. Please keep me on your mailing list”. Maurin Lovell.
