I hosted a dinner party last night, and while I only had a dozen guests, I believe the principals of entertaining are the same for large groups as they are for small ones. Organisation is merely a matter of forethought. Consider your needs beforehand and your event will be a success. You can’t do it [...]

Ta!

February 26, 2010

in Random Thoughts,theme

One of the nicest sorts of parties one can throw is a celebration in thanks or appreciation of an individual or group of people. Of course, we have all attended office parties when a co-worker leaves or retires, and these tend to be mirthful experiences, but for whom else can we express our appreciation through [...]

Has your organisation acquired its own logo? Your logo–a distinct design that encapsulates both the name and mission of your group–is an instant way to achieve brand recognition. The image should be striking, memorable, and often amusing. Think of it this way: have you ever seen a small child, one who has not yet learned [...]

There are loved ones to embrace, carols to be sung, and delicate, fanciful wrapping paper to be torn from enigmatic boxes. Cookies to eat! Ham to carve! Worship services to be attended! [...]

If not, you may find that getting big projects underway turns into a frustrating headache of missed deadlines, annoyed colleagues, and disappointing [...]
