F.O.P. Lodge held their annual Holiday event at Benvenuto's of Boynton Beach, FL on 12/10/2025. Approximately 75 guests arrived to the venue and were greeted with drinks and appetizers at the cocktail hour in the courtyard. I played a mix of Holiday/easy listening tunes while they all mingled and enjoyed the atmosphere. When it was time for the dinner service, everyone found their seats as the Honor Guard entered to the National Anthem. CMR Aimee Kelly gave the announcements and provided the special awards to the Honored Guests. After the formalities and a 3 course dinner, the dance floor opened up and it became a full blown dance party until the end. Maria and Irvin Rodriguez were my go-to people and they requested plenty of old school, freestyle and latin favorites that had everyone on the dance floor. I also took requests for some of the newer group dances as the evening progressed. The closing song for the night was Last Dance by Donna Summer and that put a bow on a fantastic Holiday event.
Congrats to the Fraternal Order of the Police for a great event. This was my first and I'm sure it won't be the last.
Special thanks to the staff at Benvenuto's for always providing excellent service.
