We were a little concerned of the lack of RSVPs for the last NACE dine around, but it was a smashing success! This was my second dine around, the first was last year in Tempe. And while closer to home is always better for me, it was a great adventure.
It began with a sleek caravan of fellow NACE pals- inlcuding Laurie Southwick owner of Something Creative by Laurie (linen diva extrodinaire), Jessica Sprouse of AGR Resort(loud, proud, and the best Catering Manager in the biz)Kristina Munoz of Arizona Weddings Magazine ( publication goddess and fundraising queen), the sweetest gals ever at our local desert oasis, Jane and Debbie- Desert Botanical Gardens, and of the course the cherry on top was Drew of Heidi's Events and Catering (my lunch date and partner in crime at the "trouble maker" table).
This was a combonation of crazy personlaities in a small space and only our wits and Mamma Mia to entertain oursleves!
Kim McDowell of The Event Essentials did an amazing job of organizing the whole shinanagans...there was food, fun, and lots of networking! We went to Renaissance Resort, Margaritaville, Fox Sports Grill, and Shout Piano Bar..Thanks so much to the local support for a great time!
