Day of the Event
Everyone needs to get a good night’s rest the day prior to the event. I suggest the committee meet for coffee or breakfast. That time can be used as refresher and review of tasks completed and things that need to be done that day. On the way to the venue I suggest you pick up a simple “thank you” card. This can be given to the manager of the venue, or left with an employee to forward to him.
Arrive at the pre-determined time. Start by arranging the room for the event. Pay attention to electrical access as needed as well as traffic patterns for rest rooms, to the bar and concession areas. Do not forget wheelchair access. Your aisles and seating need to be arranged to allow both walker and wheelchair access.

For this reason, I do not recommend you take credit/debit cards
Advanced ticket sales are a different situation. There will be time between the sale and the event for an individual to swipe the card and transfer the funds. The funds need to be physically taken from the individual’s account and deposited in the event’s till. Take care to charge any processing charges the card/swiping company may impose. Those processing charges need to be passed along to the customer.
The room and tables all need to be set up a minimum of half hour before the doors are scheduled to open. You want everything primed and ready when the first person walks through the door. If the sponsor is providing some people to help with the event be sure to welcome them and make them feel “part of the event team”. The magician may coordinate with the sponsor to use some of the sponsor’s people in the show.
Keep an eye out for media that might stop by. Greet them and volunteer to help them if needed. It is also a good idea for someone who has Facebook to do a “live” feed. An announcement as to the event, maybe a short interview or comment with the magician and panning the games and raffle areas is a nice last minute promotional touch.
Have a few staff members mingling with the guests. Thank them for coming. Be prepared to answer any questions they may have about the hosting organization and what is planned that evenings

When I was in 5th grade at the age of 10 I was fortunate enough to go on a vacation out of the country. This was a pivotal moment in my life because my family had never really had enough money to go on a trip with all of us, but we did this time because my dad saved up; we were going to the Philippines. Even though it was just supposed to be a vacation, it ended up being something completely different. During our time there, we stayed with my uncle who lived in an underprivileged neighborhood.Spending time with my relatives in that place made me realize that I took things for granted. My thoughts recollected at the church, where I really saw a different view of my dad. He was teaching in a huge, crowded church and what he said and did seemed
Our check in was very informal and the room was too small. Taking into consideration that we will be hosting next year, I believe we should host the greetings in a larger room and be sure to give everyone a very personal hello.
The decades of the 50’s, 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s had many significant events that shaped America into the nation that it is today. The events of these decades shaped the United States into the nation that it is today consist of the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Watergate Scandal, Reaganomics, and the end of the Cold War.
The hotel is centrally located in Schaumburg offering easy access to other local restaurants and three different dining options located directly in the hotel. The hotel is continuously being updated and renovated with recent renovations done to the banquet and events section. These changes help to keep the venue appearing top of the line for wedding locations. While the venue does not offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport they do offer complimentary on-site parking options which would benefit majority of the guests attending the event. Most other amenities such as wireless internet, breakfast, golf, swimming and other activities are located either on-site or within 5 miles of the venue. Floor plans (Renaissance, 2013) can be complimentarily viewed.
At the end of the event, give everyone a purple balloon to release in honor of Prince's memory. If you have the extra funds, there are services that will allow you to release doves as well, so that might be a nice touch to
Since I have been a student of a small private school my whole life, experiencing this event with such a large group of talented people from around the country was intimidating at first. In fact, the sheer number of people attending this event outnumbered that of my K-12 school! However, I soon realized that I could use this opportunity to challenge myself to do things that I would not normally do. For instance, when the time came for a person in our group to introduce a keynote speaker, my hand was the first (and only) one that went up. Rather than standing on the sidelines, I found myself meeting the challenge by introducing the speaker in front of the whole
I got one response back. Alexis said she could come as soon as she got off of work, but she would probably be late. At this point I didn't care how late, she was going to be, I was desperate. I even thought that I may need to borrow someone from a different team, anyone can stand with a smile on their face and greet guest right? I arrived at 3:30 to set up carts and check bathrooms, cause I knew our time was limited. We held our huddle in the eHQ hallway, we helped break down the child dedication and was in position by 5:30 to greet our guest, we were able to prep guides for Sunday WE and folded 2 boxes of shirts for resources. I have amazing team. They are dependable and have huge hearts. My team worked diligently to accomplish what we had to get done with what little resources we had. This experience was a great lesson for me and my team. It helped me realize that I can find a way, no matter the circumstances. Even though the odds were against us, we brought our A game and accomplished what we were set out to do, which is to help provide a welcoming atmosphere to all our
Sporting events are probably the most American things to spend your time on. It is almost a rule in this culture today that the Super Bowl party you happen to be attending has pizza lined up as far as the eye can see, flavors of chips you did not even know existed and so many Krispy Kreme variations that you do not even know what to do with yourself. If you’re watching the World Series or March Madness, everything just turns in to an event. You better live up to the hype if you are the host of any of these events, otherwise you may or may not be minus a few friends for a while because it has the ability of being a sensitive
After about talking for about 30 minutes on the phone, I was assured that this event was the one I wanted to attend. For example, I focused on this event because it had offered the community members and licensed professionals on how to help these
Life seems to take many twists and turns that somehow mesh into each other to form a chaotic knot of happenings. All of these occurrences are supposed to shape you into a wiser more experienced person. Many people can even pin point the exact moment in their life which was forever changed by a single event. When that event happens it becomes an unforgettable memory for you and teaches you a lesson that becomes one of the basic guidelines in your life. The event that forever changed me and was most significant to me was when I decided what I planned on doing for the rest of my life; choosing my major. I knew exactly what I would plan on doing my

September 26...picture day. Everyone in Hoofer Middle School was dressed up for their picture...the picture that would be in the yearbook forever.
I remember it like it was yesterday, the day that changed my life forever. On March 9th of 2011, my mom was diagnosed with skin cancer in her lung. The doctor gave her about six months to live and this is how it went.
My most memorable childhood event was when I was 15 years old. It was the Fourth of July. A big family vacation a barbeque, over night stay and out of town trip to six flags, and I had a blast the night before me, my mom, sisters and brother packed our bags to stay the night over my cousin house in Goodlettsville ,Tennessee. She had the biggest house ever I thought it was a mansion; six bedrooms two an half bath, a swimming pool, a game/movie room with a nice big kitchen. It was something that I was not use, knowing that we stayed in a three bedroom based on an income apartment on the East side of Nashville.
