Testing 1, 2, 3....

Every Thursday before the end of class, each group will submit to me (Amanda Katsch) a simple update of: where their group is at, what new decisions they have made, what they are in the process of (etc) so that I may post it HERE by 3pm Monday, at which point you will have 24 hours to read the blog and update yourself on each group's progress before class (Tuesday at 3pm). This should be an easy, effective way to not only keep everyone on the same page, but make us "likeable" to the public in a reality show sort of way. An example would be:

"Anticipation: The group has assigned each member to be in charge of a certain area of expertise (social media, brand imaging, outside marketing, etc.) in order to assure nothing falls through the cracks. Although our schedules outside of class don't seem to match up, we feel that we will have plenty of class time to get things done especially since we will suppliment the use of email and social networking to communicate when necessary. We are all so excited to be on a team with others who are as enthusiastic as we are. We plan to get social networking for Cab & Cab out by Tuesday. "

So easy! You ARE going to want to check the blog before Tuesday's class because a random question will be asked regarding information contained in the blog and a correct answer could win you a prize (a good one...not a cruddy one...purchased with the ever-so-lovely "lab fees").

The blog will also feature "Sip On THAT", a random fact section to contain an interesting tidbit about food, wine, the hospitality industry, etc. If you have a good one...let me know (email listed below)

Lastly, you'll have a chance to put yourself out there with the "Classmates: Uncorked" feature. Let the community, alumni and hospitality industry professionals reading this bad boy see that your more than just a run of the mill Event Management robot....you have a personality! Download and fill out the form below and send it with a picture to rosencabcab11@gmail.com and I will choose a classmate at random each week!
