Thursday was a busy night, with a silent auction and charity dinner held in the St. Charles and North Rampart rooms downstairs. It was for an organization called “The Tiny Footprints Guild”, an organization raising awareness and funds that support the Children’s Hospital. 
After calling a few clients to confirm reservations and helping them set-up the event, I was able to watch Marco prepare shrimp for the night, and Sean prepare the tomatoes and salads for the silent auction. 
After that, I helped Simone at the host stand and became familiar with how they manage the host stand and seating customers. 
Friday was dedicated to cookie wrapping (still baking the pink cookies in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month) and sales calls to the local hotels and condos. We handed out the flyers for Thanksgiving dinner, Gracie’s business card, and the appetizer card I designed as well as a couple cookies for each business.
Handing out flyers for Thanksgiving Dinner is a great way to have the concierge services at the hotels let their guests know where to go fir Thanksgiving Dinner. We drove around Downtown Bellevue for about an hour, stopping in to promote Thanksgiving Dinner and Ruth's Catering .

The day ended up going alright even though it was one of those when we couldn't think of anything else that could go wrong. All the events were pulled off flawlessly for the client! I helped Matt completely reset our ST. Charles room for our evening big event. Then Gracie, Adam, and I with the AV set-up for our dinner party as well. Yesterday I arrived early to help with another large lunch event. I simply was available to help the guests with any requests they might have. 
Then Gracie and I checked out J. Bookwalter venue for catering. We loved it!! the women who just took over are extremely nice and excited about a partnership of some sort and the wine and space are wonderful!! 
Finally today I helped Marco with meat consolidation again. 
Then I learned how to make my favorite Black and Blue Salad and I made all of them that were ordered today at lunch. I also learned how to make a Ruth's Chop Salad. Then I helped with our weekly networking party that comes in. Marcus and I made all of the salads and side salads that were ordered and then I helped Executive Chef Tom as he expediated the order. After that Matt showed me how to reset the room after the event was over so that we can hold another event in our St. Charles room. 
Finally I set up, organized, and confirmed all the BEOs for tomorrow's busy day.
This week, my intern Lisa from University of San Francisco started her internship. Yeah! After exchanging many emails with my Regional VP in SF, numerous emails with my counterpart in SF, email to my corporate HR department, more emails and phone conversations...phew. I got the green light.
