Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita Gets the Jump on Christmas with Special Party for Kissimmee HOME Kids and Moms

Kissimmee, Fla. --- Stonegate Golf Club Executive Chef Anukul at Solivita in Kissimmee and seven-year-old Lily Rahmani hosted an afternoon party for 18 invited mothers and 32 children of Kissimmee’s HOME shelter for homeless children and their mothers. Arto Rahmani, general manager at Stonegate Golf Club, said it was Lily’s wish for her birthday this year to spend it with kids who are less fortunate, and provide them gifts and fun activities and entertainment. Arto Rahmani said Executive Chef Anukul and Lily share the same birthday and together they decided to host the event. They greeted the moms and children along with Food and Beverage Director Rob Castillo and Banquet Sous Chef Marty Wright. A tasteful meal hot off the grille was provided to all 50 guests. Both Lily and Chef Anukul led a four-hour fun day that included face painting and snow cones with M&M Balloon and D&J Entertainment and played freeze dance, musical chairs and red light green light. Their moms were treated to a session of Zumba dancing. HOME, which stands for ”helping others make the effort” has a goal to break the cycle of homelessness by providing housing and life skills to homeless women and their children. “The smiles on the children’s faces were just priceless, I am very pleased with the outcome and all the effort my team gave to make this event successful,” General Manager Rahmani said.
