2009 and the beginning of 2010 have offered a diversity of projects and locations for Service Arts, Inc. With numerous Hilton hotels and resorts throughout the United States and Hawaii. "The Excellent Service Workshop" series has been presented in many forms and to many teams. Food and Beverage Managers and front line staffs have been an ongoing focus of the series, however it has also had applications with Front Desk, Spa and Housekeeping departments. Video-filming with immediate playback and critique have become a consistent component of the workshop, proving to be an invaluable asset to the program.

The first quarter of 2010 started with a fascinating international "mission" at Finca Cortesin on the Costa del Sol in Spain. Because of the volcanic eruption, I was a "Prisoner of Paradise" for an additional week there. Asian-Arabic fusion cuisine, Andalusian cookery and the magnificence of the Meditteranean made this an unforgettable consulting opportunity. A return, follow-up visit is planned for the Fall season.

"The Taste of Music, The Sound of Food and Wine" continues to thrive having made a major impact at its initial 2010 presentation in Delray Beach Florida. The entire program was filmed with a small excerpt shown on the website.Future presentations are being planned for domestic and international venues.

Additionally, Service Arts was responsible for the creation and the execution of "The Colors of the Calendar" Winter dining series at The Red Onion restaurant in Woodstock, New York.With themes, "Winter White,White Nights and Dancing with the Czars," "Sienna, Tuscany & the Living Canvas," plus "Chartreuse, Bistro and Swingtime in Paris," the long winter nights were filled with camraderie and festivity.
