So how do you take all the momentum from a successful first event and make sure people stay involved and get going?
Well, that's a good question, and I'm a little worried we may not be doing the best job.
We did a great job of getting the evite out for the second event pretty quickly:
Evite for Young Professionals II
You've gotta make sure the committee and the network knows the next steps--Sign up for the stair climb, start raising money. I guess that's what the next event is for, but there's all this time in the middle people could be using to ask their companies for money or to start planning events of their own.
For instance, Taylor and I are throwing a party. Secured a bar, we'll have a $10 donation at the door, then drink specials. It's at this cool looking place in North Beach (thank you intern Annie for giving me the hookup)

We're also hoping to get catering donations so we can give people some food to go with their alchy--just to be on the safe side, and offer a lil' something more. Hopefully we'll get some fun raffle items as well--you know gift certificates, bottles of wine, etc etc.
When I am going to bring this event together is beyond me, as I am in the office for two and a half days this week and then will be in Maine with neither phone nor internet for 5 days--BRING ON VACATION LAND!
Lobstah anyone?
