Wrap-up discussion from Celestial Celebration
*Guests fell down indoor stairs. Need to post someone at stairs to assist, warn guests.
*Lot of compliments.
*Thank you’s received from several guests.
*Had SEC members throughout the room ~ how was service? Good throughout the room.
*Temperature varied throughout the room, cold areas.
*Centerpieces were beautiful, once again a lot of compliments from guests.
*Bundt cakes were a great addition (so great that several cakes taken from tables).
*Robert Bosch was pleased with the sponsor signage.
*The cigar lady was in the corner ~ BUT she did better than last year in sales.
*Hiccup of the evening was stage spot lights were shining in guests faces. Had to search out lighting tech.
*Screens worked well in this venue.
*It was nice sitting in the back and being able to see everything.
*Lighting: don’t feed crew that are not there during the event. Need to email company owner and clarify this
point.
*Wine Grab did well: over the years ~ 2013 $210; 2014 $610 and 2015 $835. In future make table tents to let
guests know that wine is available for purchase and corking.
*Entertainment in the future? That is dependent on the number of award winners. Maybe or even most
definitely for the 100th Anniversary.
*If Cotillion wants deliveries made at the side entrance it needs to be shoveled and salted.
*The owner of Cotillion was “hands on” all evening.
*Three (3) silent auction gifts were never picked up.
*Add phone number to the bid sheet.
*Next year try having guests pre-register for silent auction. Will/should help with identifying
winners.
*Thank you’s to Teresa for taking all the inquiries regarding change of venue.
*SEC and Centennial Commission should meet in the near future.
