When I was hired on to work with FareStart this year, I was incredibly honored. I had a reason to try all their eateries and restaurants and also work with an amazing group of people. The Great Food, Better Lives Gala Auction was my biggest event to date! Nearly 600 guests gathered at the Washington State Convention Center and almost $2 million was raised! I volunteered my time for the evening and was in awe at how efficient everything ran. I was a “table captain concierge” which was a blast! My job was to make the guests at my tables happy, help them have a great time. As always, I obliged! The event was a huge success and they asked me to help with the 2018 event, I am already in full swing and loving the creative freedom they give me! I am also working on their end of the year campaign and a few other items. Cannot wait to try their newest restaurant Maslow’s.
