It's All Business

Our days have been filled with finalizing our EventSource orders and making sure all of our numbers are accounted for. EventSource is a company that Ghostlight uses to rent tables, linens, etc., but there are many others out there that can do this. Recently, we have been working on the alumni event for HB and making sure that the caterer, Kimberly Gibson, has everything she needs. After making sure that was done, we moved on to questioning the possibility of a nonprofit obtaining more than 2 F-2 liquor permits. This permit allows you to sell alcohol until 1 am on a specified night. They usually last for 48 hours. As to why they only issue 2 per calendar year, I don't know. I also learned that when a company sends you an RFP that means that they want you to submit a proposal for an upcoming event. My sponsor has received some in the last couple of days so we most likely will be working on those a lot! She taught me about business etiquette and how important it is to not get frazzled when the client is unhappy or simply does not choose you. The last thing we worked on was trying to figure out if we could put up glass wind barriers on the beach of Lake Erie for a land conservation event in September. More to come on that! I have the HB event tomorrow so pictures and stories to come on that.
