| President Report:
Happy Summer! We have had an Amazing year with Programs this year!
Please help me to Congratulate the people behind the scenes who have given of their time and efforts to assist us with top notch program content this year.
They are Jennifer Christenson, Mystic Lake Casino Hotel, Toni Piazza, Event Lab, and Lisa Brenna, Mintahoe Hospitality.
I would also like to thank our many sponsors who without their help and support we would not be able to bring you such superb meetings.
June brought us the opportunity to Experience a Superb meeting with "The Depot" as our Host for the month. We started our evening in the beautiful Winter Garden, enjoying the live music styles of Frank Sinatra, with seated chair massages, and great conversation.
Sponsors for the evening included:
-
"Ice Provided by Tom Doyle"
-
"Massage by Jessica"
-
"Decor - Provided by Robin Rosenberg with Linen Effects"
-
"The Depot Minneapolis, a Renaissance Hotel"
We experienced a fabulous dinner created by:
Executive Chef Roger James, and Banquet Chef Chris Hammer of The Depot Minneapolis, a Renaissance Hotel.
Our featured guest speaker, Chris Bez, is the highly accredited life coach and the principal of Creative Consulting. She spoke of the importance of balance and how to apply it to our work, life and play.
July was the Educational Conference in Houston, Texas. Ten individuals from our Chapter had the Honor of Representing our Minneapolis - St Paul Chapter to make our presence know at this National Convention. There were so many exciting things we experienced. We will be bringing all this back to you at our September Meeting to share these experiences with you our members. We are going into our 50th year with the National Association of Catering Executives in 2008. We have a new logo to celebrate these years.
Thank you for attending our monthly meetings and events. Our attendance is at an all time high. We are extremely interested in your thoughts as to how we can perform to get the most of your NACE membership. We have many more exciting events to come this year. Please do not hesitate to call or email me any ideas, thoughts, or feedback. We are excited to be of service to you. We look forward to seeing you at our meetings to come.
Yours in Hospitality,
