Event Production
Events are complex and can be perplexing. If you need assistance, my involvement can be as simple as helping produce your event from the sidelines or all the way up to directing and executing on the day of.
Life Celebrations
Whatever you call it celebrating the passing of a friend or relative is not much different from weddings and other types of milestones. What is the big commonalty? Empathy. When you have empathy it is much easier to provide sympathy. My work with Darling & Fischer Family Mortuaries is an invaluable Experience helping others celebrate their loved ones’ lives.
Cooking events
Cooking demonstrations and group classes provide an engaging way to learn culinary skills while enjoying a social atmosphere. I bring training from the Culinary Institue of America and teaching skills from the Sur La Table Culinary Department to teach all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned cooks, and cover a wide range of cuisines and cooking styles. Guests get to expand their culinary repertoire, ask questions, and connect with fellow food enthusiasts. The goal is to foster a love for cooking while creating memorable experiences in the kitchen.
Fundraising
One of the most popular ways to raise money is with oral and silent auction events. These evenings are often the single biggest revenue source for schools, charity organizations, churches and the like. I've done so many I could probably step up and be the auctioneer. Most of the time I've been the emcee supporting all of the activities to boost the bidding. I have many ideas to share with organizations to maximize their proceeds. I believe the key is an outside-the-box perspective to get those paddles up. The popularity of fundraisers makes them common but if the Experience is unique, then attendance and bidding will soar. Use some imagination and make yours a Funraising.
