How Home-Tech Does a Table at Key to the Cure 2012
The fun twist on this event was the “decorate your own table” approach. Each table was tasked to create their own unique centerpiece design that was to be auctioned off. The Home-Tech Marketing team, consisting of Margo, Chrissy and Elise spent several weeks putting together the various elements of the table design. The themed colors were black, white and hot pink. Our centerpiece was a shiny stack of stainless steel stockpots and a gift certificate for a tabletop wine cooler. We wanted to remind our community that not only do we provide outstanding air conditioning and appliance installation and repair, but also sell high end appliances like Thermador.
At each place setting, there were several Home-Tech branded items. Each napkin had a Home-Tech band around it, and in front of each plate were cards showing a retro Thermador appliance ad on one side, with their modern version on the other. Each setting had a Home-Tech fan/auction paddle intended to be used during the fashion show or silent auction. On one side it had our logo, and on the other there was a clever saying, like “Need It, Lookin’ Good or Have to Have it!” We were glad we had them during the very humid morning yesterday.
The different elements of the event included a delicious breakfast provided by Cantina Laredo, juice by Sun Harvest Citrus, coffee & muffins from Courtyard Café, 15 custom decorated tables by the Saks Breakfast Hostess Committee, a Saks Fifth Avenue Fall Preview Fashion Show, Cancer Prevention Speaker, Shopping & Special Silent/Live Auction. Music was provided by DJ Robert McDonald from New Beginnings Events!
