"The third Real Estate Movers & Shakers Reception was the opportunity to celebrate Stalco Construction's dynamic growth in 2009, achieved despite the challenging economic conditions across the country," said Alan Nahmias, Stalco president. "Our company has doubled its project volume from $40 million in 2008 to $80 million in 2009. This growth has allowed Stalco to increase its personnel by 30% this year." "We selected the theme of 'Roaring Twenties' for our third reception to remind our colleagues and partners in the real estate and AEC industries that the economy will recover and now is the time to develop new business strategies and marketing plans," added Stalco Construction Principal Kevin G. Harney. Stalco employees and many attendees joined in the fun and dressed up as 1920s flappers, gangsters, and businessmen. Actor, and Robert De Niro stunt double and impersonator, Joseph Manuella and Joe Pesci look-a-like Vincent Caravello entertained the guests. George Mel's Jazz Trio provided live music, including numerous 1920s standards.
