A GO-GET-ER TEAM

All day events generally take about three to four months to plan, sometimes six months, like in the case of a wedding. I have feverishly been working on an event over the last month that will take place the first and second of April. We are anticipating an attendance of 600 women. It's a live simulcast with Bible teacher and author, Priscilla Shirer. The event takes place at a local church. And I only have two months to get it going. Fortunately, I have a fabulous team of nine members (all volunteers from the church) who have been diligently working with me. Within two weeks we had all our publicity materials created and published. I could hardly believe we did it that fast, but I have a very dedicated and hard working group of people who wouldn't take "CAN'T DO THAT" for an answer. They made it happen! Now that the publicity end of it is completed we are gearing up for all the registrations that will be coming in. The registrations will be coming from several mediums--phone registrations, on-line registrations, mailings, and Facebook! We are all set. There are six of us who have split up the responsibilities and we are ready to gather the orders. Meanwhile, this same team is gathering volunteers to help out at the ticket stands. My hospitality team has been organizing and categorizing all the supplies they will need for the concession stands. They are gathering volunteers to help as greeters, ushers, parking attendants and workers at the concession stands and product tables. My tech team has been working over the last month preparing for the workings that only can happen on the internet, making sure that we are prepared and ready to air the day of the event. Soon my facility team will be setting up tables, etc., preparing a layout that will keep the flow of this event moving smoothly. Because this is a church event we also put in place a prayer team who have daily been on their knees praying for God to do His thing throughout the planning of this event, and during the time of the event. I am so excited and delighted to be a part of this special day! It's been a busy time, and I've had my moments of some weariness, but it has been so enjoyable! I just know that I couldn't have done it without all those diligently behind the scenes working along with me. I commend you my steering committee. You have been doing an exceptional job and I'm proud to have you on my team! If God can accomplish what He already has done through us, imagine what He will do for those that attend! God Bless!
