10.18.25 A Strong Foundation.pdfGENERAL SERVICE NOTES:
GENERAL SERVICE NOTES:
It is the Baltimore Marathon this day, so PLEASE leave with enough time to find parking and arrive on time to the event
This is a fundraising event for A Strong Foundation. Read more about the organization below!
Guests will be eating on the veranda so a plated dinner service has some logistical discussion to it. The plan is to have one person running trays from the kitchen to the tray stands at the bottom of the stairs, and then servers assigned to taking the plates to the tables/guests
Dinner must be served quietly because there will be speeches/presentations happening
The electric at the venue is not great, so coffee for the event will be purchased in advance instead of brewed on-site
VIP TABLES/GUESTS:
The tables next to the speakers are those who have donated subtantially to the Foundation. Please prioritize these tables
SIGNATURE COCKTAILS/DRINK PREFERNECES:
This event will have a cash bar*, meaning guests will pay for their own drinks rather than the host covering the cost. One team member will be assigned to run the POS tablet for the duration of the event — ringing in each drink and processing payments. Please make sure the bar area stays organized, payments are processed correctly, and the bar remains fully stocked and presentable throughout service.
The only exception to the cash bar is the WINE that the Foundation will be providing. This is complimentary to guests.
Soft Drinks and Coffee are complimentary as well.

About the Organization:
A Strong Foundation is a family-run nonprofit organization led by Marcus Walker, his wife, daughter, and son. Their mission is to revitalize blighted neighborhoods in East Baltimore by taking on some of the most neglected, vacant, and fire-damaged homes — the kinds of properties many developers avoid. They completely rehabilitate these “ugly houses,” restoring them from the ground up to make them livable again. Through their work, A Strong Foundation helps improve the appearance, safety, and morale of the surrounding community, turning long-time eyesores into symbols of renewal and investment.

*Note for Setup Crews*
The time listed on 7Shifts is the time you are to arrive at the VENUE. It is up to you to coordinate with the Warehouse Manager to determine the best time to pick up the supplies you need for set up (linens, glassware, cutlery, etc.). Sometimes this is best done the day before, and sometimes it is preferred on the day-of.
