Subject: Event Hosting August Report

O Wise Ones:

After a spectacular July, August was a bit more earthbound for Event Hosting.

The Afternoon/Eve O’ hosted by Mike Agranoff at the Oak Hills residents’ complex was a mixed bag. Mike worked hard and well to stage the event, and a good time was had by all who attended. However, attendance was low – my very rough estimate would be twenty total – and Mike rightly expressed doubt that it’s worth the extra effort. Any decision as to next year can be made well into the future, and is entirely up to Mike.

However, to glom a bit of credit that’s not entirely due to Event Hostinng (this was not an official Project event), Eddie and Barbra’s beach/music party, held in Asbury Park and their spectacular new home, was an unqualified success, particularly for the first time out. People who did the beach clearly had a great time, and beer/pizza/music for approximately twenty afterward was a joy. Hoping that this will be the first of many.

The September Eve O’ will be held at Kleiner/Pagan World Headquarters. October will be dark for Getaway, Arlene Harcar has graciously agreed to host November, and a search for the December holiday party is under way.

Folk on!

Submitted in the spirit of the Project.
