Community Newspapers hosts Profit Inc. open house at Kings Bowl

Members and guests of Profit Inc., one of Miami-Dade County’s oldest business clubs, enjoyed an evening event hosted by Miami’s Community Newspapers on May 24, at Kings Dining & Entertainment.

While such open-house events typically are held at one’s place of business, Kings provided a nice change of pace with its many games and things to do for those who decided to stay after the reception.

Kings’ Steven Bradley provided a dozen door prizes including gift cards good for play, which many took full advantage of. In fact, a dozen or so guests moved into the private Karaoke Room to sing their hearts out until closing. While karaoke is a great use for that room, it is also a perfect space for private parties – and that night provided both.

Among the Profit members enjoying yummy hors d’oeuvres and beverages while socializing and doing some business were Enrique Yunis, Kemp Mobley, LaWanda Loftus, Valerie Valenzuela, Jerry and Kathy Lance, Robert Beans, Rosemary Guilfoyle, Mike and Susan Sutta, John Burns, and CN’s Gloria Burns. Several guests in attendance included celebrity Chef Chris Valdes who was featured on the cover of Community Newspapers’ May/ June issue of Inspire Health Magazine; Cathie Burns of Century Homebuilders; Arely Ruiz of Arely Ruiz PR; Pete De La Torre of Business Forum Group; Ana Bradley, owner of Clutch Burger in Coral Gables; and Marti Bueso of A Safe Haven for Newborns.

Profit Inc. meets the first and third Thursdays of each month at 94th Aero Squadron and holds open-house events on off weeks hosted by members. Those interested in learning more about the organization may visit www.profitinc.org.
