Park on Fourteenth
TFCN Social Group, of TFCN.us, held their debut event Friday, February 20, at Park on Fourteenth in Washington DC. Park provided TFCN with the Fourth Floor VIP lounge for their gathering, which was set amidst Park's warm minimalist decor. Featuring one of the DC Metropolitan areas finest DJ's, music ranged from 60's old school to new era experimental, mirroring TFCN member demographics. Also befitted with a live art demonstration, visible from the Fourth Floor balcony, the celebration remained at near gratis costs in a venue where spending a combination of $500 or more on food, martinis, and champagne in order to stake an evening's residency on one of the leather sofas is the norm.
Members of TFCN Social Group were delighted with Park's professional ambiance. The short menu included delicacies such as crabcake sliders and soy glazed seared ahi - everything was delivered via a premiere staff presence.
Ms. Donna L. Quesinberry, President of DonnaInk, TFCN's Social Group Administrator, thought of the idea to hold network receptions after receiving her initial invitation to join TFCN from the man behind this progressive, and exponentially growing social network, Mr. Alexander George. During initial stages of TFCN's development, Ms. Quesinberry decided to give the network a try and she states,
"As a federal contracting veteran with a diverse background featuring business and procurement solutions development - I maintain extensive public relations and event planning reach back to draw upon - when membership exceeded 3000 and participants began to ask to meet for lunch or cocktails, forming the TFCN Social Group seemed a novel idea.
TFCN opens windows for members where relative views of the federal marketplace are shared in a Web 2.0 virtual scheme. This network represents the future while delivering a balanced playing field for all participants. I believe TFCN.us will remain a valuable resource that the federal contract community will benefit from. Kudos to Mr. George and his wife Mia for their success in this endeavor."
The TFCN Social Group extended special thanks to Ms. Anne Barnes, Park's Event Manager and wife of Marc Barnes, Manager for the gracious support provided making TFCN's premiere munch and mingle a success. Park is the creation of two of the city's best-known night-life entrepreneurs (Marc Barnes-Love and Masoud Aboughaddareh [a.k.a. Masoud A.]-Lima and other Washington DC lounges), Park will be a must-do again friend of the TFCN Social Group.
