Martini Madness Recap -  Posted June 12, 2007

From the first moment you walked into the private and intimate space provided by our friends at Riccardi’s, Tammy and Laura, Women in Film.Dallas’ Membership Chairs, immediately made you feel welcome and a part of the family; and if you weren’t a member then, there is no doubt that you left the party thinking that perhaps tonight you found a home in WIF.D.

WIF.D’s main objective has always been to promote and enhance the recognition of our members and all professional women in the film and video industry, and Martini Madness is an excellent example of how WIF.D mixes mingling with fun, for a casual and never stuffy evening of networking. From the informal circle of introductions to the new promotional table where members can drop off marketing materials about themselves, Martini Madness proves time and time again to be one of the best marketing tools for women and men in the region—and it's loads of fun too! 

Riccardi’s was the perfect host of WIF.D’s latest Martini Madness with their fabulous food—pasta, boneless buffalo wings and delicious salmon—the likes that many mentioned they had never tasted until that evening. Riccardi's drinks are among the best in Dallas, and the service was splendid!

Among the guests, Janis Burkland mentioned in the circle that our work with TXMPA has just begun and talked about how we can help with the momentum. To paraphrase our wonderful Martini Madness host and WIF.D board member Donatelle Mascari, "The bill is signed, but it's not going to be a free ride. Get involved!"

The promo table— filled with business cards, promo pieces of every kind, and even a DVD player with a demo reel (smart thinking on one member’s part!)—was a hit

“It was a great evening and one that I feel will resonate for a long, long time,” adds Donatelle.

WIF.D thanks every contributor that made this evening such a success! Don’t miss out on the next "Tuesday Tradition," August 13th.  Check out the photos in our Gallery!
