Mary Meyer Fundraiser

Last Friday I got to develop my skills as a DJ on a quest to help raise money. Last spring I deejayed the Sacred Heart Gala and Fundraiser and then took my learns and skills to another school fundraiser for Mary Meyer. Mary Meyer is a private preschool, with only 36 kids, and many parents willing to contribute to the school. The event took place at Architectural Artifacts on Friday, May 19th. The night began with an open bar, the silent auction, and cocktail music. Stations opened up, as I ran the agenda, and made announcements as to what silent auction tables were closing and when. The job took a lot of coordination as well as the ability to go with the flow when my client wanted a table to stay open longer. The evening concluded with a live auction and raffle. I only wish I (the DJ) could have bid on the Oprah, Bulls, New York tickets :)
This was the first year that Mary Meyer hired professional entertainers and coordinators to help with the event and I feel very confident that I served the company well. I held the agenda and time, so the committee could concentrate on making money. I also brought great energy to the party with Matt (my assistant) and I's spirit and music.
