☕🎉 What a fantastic way to kick off the school year! 🎉☕
Yesterday morning, AAHA members and future members gathered at Gallo at The Creamery District for Back to School Breakfast Bingo!
Between the delicious pastries, fresh coffee, and lively networking, our hospitality community shared industry insights, caught up with old friends, and made new connections. That's what AAHA is all about!
Congratulations to our two BIG blackout Bingo winners:
🏆 Afrika Ray with Pullman Market
🏆 Catherine with ALPHA-LIT
But perhaps the biggest win of the morning wasn't a Bingo card. It was the incredible generosity of our Programs Director, Roy Anthony Garcia. A huge shoutout to him and our friends at Fogo de Chãol! ❤️ When Afrika and Catherine tied on the final blackout, there was no debate over who SCREAMED Bingo first. Instead, Roy stepped up and made sure everyone walked away a winner.
Fogo had already donated two amazing prizes:
🎁 A Fogo Swag Bag with a $100 Gift Card
🎁 A Fogo Swag Bag with (2) Complimentary Tickets to the DAOU Wine Dinner on August 13 (a $200 value)
Then, in true hospitality fashion, Roy surprised everyone by donating a THIRD prize; another pair of complimentary tickets to the DAOU Wine Dinner so both blackout winners could celebrate!
We'd also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing door prize sponsors who helped make Breakfast Bingo such a memorable event:
🍪 Judy with DoubleTree by Hilton San Antonio Northwest for bringing their famous warm chocolate chip cookies.
⛳ L’Lee and Alex with Cool Crest Miniature Golf for donating a four-pack of mini golf with Smashburgers.
🦒 Chris and Brandon with the San Antonio Zoo for donating two family four-packs, each including giraffe experiences for four.
Your generosity and support are what make AAHA events so special. Thank you to every organization that contributed prizes, laughter, and hospitality.
And of course, thank you to Gallo at The Creamery for hosting us. We can't wait to see you at our next AAHA event!
💙 Hospitality is more than an industry—it's a community.
