Busy Busy Busy

Deb and I have been very busy lately. On Thursday, we visited the Senior Outreach Services headquarters on 79th and Quincy. It is an amazing building, the original Langston Hughes Library, in an otherwise very impoverished area of Cleveland. This organization serves a little bit over 1000 seniors a day with meals and other services. They try to keep seniors vibrant and social. Currently, they are having an event at Nighttown with famous jazz singers. They hope that the turn out will be better than year. After that we went to the Lakeview Cemetery to lay out a tent idea for their next event which will fundraise for the cleaning of the Garfield Monument and upkeep of the cemetery. On Friday, we had the HB alumnae event and it went great! I was in charge of keeping one of the alum chefs happy and doing whatever she wanted so that her presentation could go flawlessly. It was really nice to see some familiar faces and talk about future plans as I head off to college in the Fall. The only problem we had was the AC broke down but no one seemed to notice. There were some other small issues but they were easily fixed. Next week we have an ISES Membership Luncheon which should be fantastic! ISES stands for the International Special Events Society. Pictures to come!
