Sacramento Ballet, Modern Masters, Abbreviated

Monica Lynn Events (MLE) is so honored to be hosted this evening at the Sacramento Ballet Modern Masters, Abbreviated.

We had the amazing opportunity to be touched by Brian Fisher, Midtown Grid when the Sacramento Ballet was in need of a champagne sponsor for the upcoming April 5th Premier Event at the Mondavi Center. As we tell all of our clients, the bonus MLE brings to any event is the relationships we have built with some of the top vendors in Northern and Central California. In this case, Sandy from Oak Ridge Winery was kind enough to not only come into the office on her vacation to take care of this emergency request (We called upon her at 1pm and by 4:46 we had a YES response), but also sponsor ALL of the champagne for this event. So as we enjoy the body in its most beautiful form this evening, we thank Mimi Kent, Director of Marketing with the Sacramento Ballet for allowing us to build a relationship that we are excited to continue for years to come.

Sac Fire Dept 2009 Gala

One of the chief social events was the annual firemen’s ball. At the occurrence of this great event, the leading citizens were greatly in evidence. Governors, State and County and City officials, and United States Senators and Congressmen, were the frequent guests. For these functions no expense was spared, and the finest banquets was part of the program. The costumes of the ladies could not be excelled by anything of modern times. The red shirts, bright belts and helmets of the fire laddies were badges of honor and distinction, recognized by the entire community. ~Judge W.A. Anderson (circa 1913)

Fireman, Dress Uniforms/Tuxedos, wait....did I mention FIREMAN. Oh and my cherry blossom gown from Britt Steele...AMAZING!!! ~Monica Harper (circa 2009)

MLE on Twitter

Whew- its been a busy Web 2.0 week. The WONDERFUL, AMAZING, and PHENOMENAL Krista Guerrero with Kreative Design and Marketing has been hard at work educating me on all of the FREE (yep, we LOVE that word!) ways to market you business.

LONG gone are the days of newspaper ads and local signage. Now it's all about blogging, twitter, facebook, linkedin, yelp, flicker, youtube, google analytics, and getlisted.org. As confused as I still am? Krista offers great packages to get you started and there are tons of resources on sites like Get Networking Now.

So as Monica Lynn Events joins the new face of networking, we invite you to join us in the learning curve!
