Time for Tree

Last Week - We had a good internal departmental meeting last week to discuss progress in each department and where we could all help out with….ideas, staff….just making sure we are all on the same page!

This week - FOOD, TALENT, ORGANIZATION! 

FOOD! - you never realize how important food is to people until you start planning an event.  People need to eat and like to eat and having to make everyone happy seems to be a challenge.  Between production staff, station staff and volunteers……food is important especially after setting up and working long hours.  This week I have worked on getting food secured for all! We have had some great partners in the past to help out with this. 

TALENT!  Another big concern this week is finding out who our “A” Talent is!  We are waiting anxiously to find this out!  This is Always a highlight of the event!  We hope to find who this is this week!  With Talent comes hotel (already securing), travel and anything else that they need!  Once we get the talent….that project will begin!

ORGANIZATION!  It is this time during the Tree planning process that I realize I need to step back and ORGANIZE!  Production schedules, contracts, artwork, volunteers….everything starts pilling up about this time.  All I need is a good 1/2 hour - 1 hour to get this done!

I forgot to mention that we have another station event this weekend (SHRED IT) that I have been devoted 1/2 my time to….next week….100% TOL!
