President's Report

Happy 4th of July everyone!

The summer is in full swing, hopefully keeping us all busy with summer fun, BBQ’s, Weddings, Picnics and a little vacation squeezed in.

We just had a truly successful fundraiser at our last event on June 10 at Catering By Design. The final tally came in around $7500.00 in profit for our chapter. Thanks to everyone that participated and enjoyed the evening.  Michael Roman was a highlight and full of great advice for our future. Check out some of the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAll7d-1dRQ.

Our next event is just around the corner on July 14th at The Oxford Hotel.  This will be a lunch event with the popular Panel format.  In August, several NACE members are traveling to Charlotte NC for the annual NACE Experience! Conference. Then we all get back together in September with our monthly events. Keep checking the website for updates to our calendar. Have a wonderful summer!

Regards, Monica Cheeks

What you have missed!

 

The Denver Chapter of NACE held its annual fundraiser Tuesday June 9, at Catering by Design’s massive 32,000 square foot facility. Chef Cade Nagy, Event Solutions Magazine’s 2009 Caterer of the Year, put a four-course spin on classic comfort foods titled "Pop Culture Cuisine." Fabulous silent auction items were displayed throughout the evening. Guests walked away with prizes ranging from a suite at a Colorado Rockies game to lodging in Vail, Beaver Creek and Calgary. More than $6,500 was raised to benefit a local hospitality student with a full 2009 NACE scholarship, as well as to help Denver NACE members attend educational seminars. Michael Roman, president and founder of Catersource, informed and entertained the crowd of 130 guests, providing ideas on marketing and service, including how to provide clients more value without discounting. The Greater Denver chapter would like to thank all who participated in yet another fantastic event!
