Meeting minutes

Demetra presented this year's theme- Emerald City, Wizzard of Oz. Inspirational images were shown to the team as well as pictures from the 2009 gala decor which was designed and installed by the Harrington team.

Jaclyn Moser who was part of last year's team was very helpful in the discussion.
Questions to ask the CFF committee:
Color of table lines that the Fairmont Hotel has,
Storage rooms available before the event
Check the rooms schedule, it is key for setting up and taking down the intallation
How do we transport the pieces
Ask who the lighting designer is and work with him before the event to ensure good lighting for the installation
Budget questions

Demetra will contact Amy Pattterson, Associate Executive Director of CFF to arrange a meeting for Thursday, September 30th, at the Fairmont Hotel to see the spaces and have a conversation concerning the above items. Best time for us is Thursday mornings.

If we meet next Thursday at the Fairmant Hotel, then our next meeting here at school will be on Thursday, October 7th in room 106. In the meantime everybody has decided to look for inspirational images and come up with sketches for our next meeting.

Again, I want to thank everyone for attending and thank you for your time

Kick-off meeting

I have talked to many of you about this upcoming exciting project for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which will take place January 28th, 2011 at the Fairmont Hotel . Harrington was the team that put together the event design and decorations for the 2009 gala.
Every year the CF Foundation holds their grand chef gala in order to raise money for the organization and at the same time it honors chefs for their culinary excellence.
Last year’s team had a lot of fun putting this together, and I am hoping that we will do the same this year. It will also look great in your portfolio.

This year’s theme is Emerald City –Wizard of Oz. As interior designers this is a very exciting theme and concept. I have done a quick image search which I am including as part of this email. I have the floor plans of the two rooms that we will be working with.

I am also including their announcement for the gala event.

I am available on Tuesdays until 4:00 and Thursday all day. Please let me know of your availability so we can meet next week.
If everybody can make it on Thursday, that will be great. Let me know if you want to meet at 12:00-1:00 or after 5:00.
Their next meeting is in October and I would like to present some thoughts to them.

I am really excited to work on this project and hope to see you next week.
Happy dreams…
