HOUSTON- In just a few days, star-crossed lovers will seek to acknowledge their love and being loved, when Valentine’s Day 2008 arrive. It is the traditional day on which Valentine’s cards, candy and other items of expression are exchanged. The “holiday” although named after two Early Christian martyrs named Valentine, is now synonymous with romance.
In keeping with that tradition, Simply Panache, a Pearland, Texas based event-planning company, which recently launched Mocha Dates, will put on their first Valentine’s Day Soiree, Thursday, February 14, 2008 from 8p.m. to 12a. m. at Bering & James Art Gallery, 805 Rhode Place #500. Tickets are $20 each. The Valentine’s Day Event will be a classy elegant party atmosphere with bubbly champagne, a cascading chocolate waterfall, a delectable cuisine all while surrounded by the ambience of the Bering and James Art Gallery and served to music that will “keep you moving all night long.”

HOUSTONIANS looking for love - or a friend or two - have a new option.
Simply Panache LLC, a Pearland-based event-planning business, recently launched Mocha Dates for black singles.
"This is basically a dating alternative for the urban professional, for people who aren't as comfortable or who don't have time for the popular methods of meeting people like the club or bar," said LaKesha Brown-Renfro, a Simply Panache event executive.
"This is an opportunity to meet new people and possibly walk away with a second date, or even a soul mate."
