Pre-Event Crazies

A thousand apologies oh dear and faithful blog readers. The last few weeks have been super busy here at EECM and I'm afraid the blog has suffered a bit of neglect. I was planning to write something witty, clever and generally fabulous today but we are at T-minus 2 days to The Blessed Event (aka A Flavor of the East End) and I'm afraid there just isn't time for poetic musings on non-profit life today.

Have you ever worked on a big fundraiser? Whew. It's a wild ride. I'm loving every second of it but I'm not going to say it isn't a bit zany. We have at least 250 people coming (with reservations continuing to trickle in), darn near 100 items to prepare for the silent auction, decoration plans to finalize and implement, flowers to arrange, mystery boxes to package, drink tickets to buy, signage to create, and anti-rain dances to perform with wild abandon -- if you know any, please join in!

I promise you lovely blogs next week complete with pictures and stories from the evening. It's going to be an awesome time. But now I must go and pick up a handcrafted ornamental accent table. Cheerio!
