There was a LOT of fun happening last night in Oakland as the members and guests of the Pittsburgh Chapter of ISES enjoyed themselves thoroughly at the BURGERS, BOWLING & BANANA SPLITS event held at the  Pittsburgh Athletic Association! 

Many of the established members of the Greater Pittsburgh ISES Chapter and their wonderful guests, MPI Pittsburgh and Visit Pittsburgh were in atten-dance rocking the night away to a 1950s-themed event complete with a Soda Fountain, soda Jerks (no longer politically correct, I'm sure!), burgers, banana splits, bowling and 1950s "Hop" music provided by none other than the phenomenal Kelli Burns of Kelli Burns DJ Entertainment dressed in full 1950s regalia, complete with her own bowling shirt and white anklets! 

Sheila Weiner, Ed Amori and Lori Upperman deserve a special thank you for putting the program together for everyone - as always, they did a wonderful job! It was a great opportunity for Pittsburgh ISES members and their guests to come together for a night of networking and merriment.  I thought I'd provide a sampling of images of the evenings happenings so everyone could see how much fun really does happen at an ISES event - ENJOY! 

NOTE: MOUSE-OVER THE smaller PHOTOS ON THE RIGHT EVER SO SLOWLY to see them all!



A special "thank you" goes out to all the sponsors of the evening:
