Laura presenting Chris with his birthday cup cake.

Twin Palms Polo Club at La Quinta celebrated their 2010 season with a Grand Opening party for friends and club members on Feb. 6th, ’10.  The rainy weather didn’t dampen this barn party  . . . heaters, a hosted bar, excellent food, an ice sculpture laden with cup cakes, party favors, live music and great company was the perfect recipe for a “GRAND” Opening.   Guests gathered in an ambient covered barn area with horses in the backdrop.  The party was a dual celebration as it was also Chris Maloney’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Chris!!  Thank you Laura and Chris Maloney for hosting such a lovely party.
