Students Get Surprise at Lakewood Ranch Prom Night 2014

Our daughter Anne-Marie (front-right) is a junior in Lakewood Ranch high school and went to her first prom on Friday night. She was very excited about this, and we spent lots of time ‘getting ready’ for this prom. We went to get photos and then the group went for dinner to one of our favorite restaurants in Sarasota; Clasico on Main Street.

An amazing couple made a very special night even more special for the group. There are some very kind people living here in Sarasota and we are very grateful, as one of the student's parents, for their gift. Thank you.

Read below the comment that was posted on Clasico’s facebook page:-

Special Story; Last evening at Clasico Sarasota two guests were dining next to this table of young lovely prom guests you see in this photo....when I stopped to check on the table to make sure the couple was having a perfect experience....the gentlemen motioned me to his side and asked me to put the entire tab for the young prom group on his tab....he simply explained "he and his wife love young people and wanted to treat the young well dressed and well mannered group." 


He also requested to remain anonymous - the kind genuine look on this man's face moved me - but not as much as I was moved by the response of the young prom group when I informed them of the gesture. The wait staff all smiled and no words could describe the feeling of the moment.

They were so surprised and grateful, two of the seven quests were in tears and wanted desperately to thank this kind husband and wife couple, this in turn moved me to tears and I had to go outside for fresh air....What a special night, special experience, special people and special place.

Sometimes it truly does not feel like work. :)
