I was so nervous before the event. I ended up running a little late to get to the venue, Bellanor Boutique. I wanted to come across as professional to everyone. I was worried that the Breaking Chains Spokeperson or the Pastry Divas ( who provided our yummy cake shots) would get there before me. I wanted everything to go well for the attendees. I wanted the sponsors to be acknowledged and appreciated. I felt so panicked because I was running late. I drove as quickly as possible without causing an accident. Well my panic was for naught.
Everything went so smoothly. I arrived at the venue before everyone except for the boutique owner. I had plenty of time to set up. The Pasty Divas and the charity spokeswomen got there in good time. Guest started to arrive and by twenty after six I was saying my welcome and getting us started with some games and giveaways.
Everyone had a blast and went home with smiles and gifts from our sponsors. Some even went home with two and three gifts. I had a good time too. The atmosphere was so positive. Old and new friends came out to support me. New connections were made by me and between the guests.
I could not have done it without the generosity of all of our sponsors. I encourage you to connect with all of them because they believe in giving back and connecting with our community by supporting events like the Joy of Giving event.
