We started early the day of the event to set up and decorate. That included arranging flowers, decorations and setting out the silent auction items. The event was held at a private Palm Beach Club that is elegant and accustom to handling events of this type. After decorating we all took a quick break to go home and get changed and return for the reception.
I loaded all the attendees on to my Android Tablet and was the official greeter / check in person. I was the first person they encountered after valet parking their cars. I did ask "Are you sure this is where you want me?" And the answer was yes. I started at 5:15 and we still had people coming at 6:45. The event was just a cocktail reception with speeches and awards. We had a band playing french music and attendees gathered both in an inside and an outside area. The weather was beautiful - Low 70's. We had well over 200 in attendance. There were some that knew me from my work in Palm Beach and other events.

I love doing these society events and hope that more opportunists come up. I am working with a fantastic non-profit event coordinator, so let's hope.
All dressed up, somewhere to go and a worthy cause. It does not get any better than that!
