I am so very excited that Enjoy Yourself Events has been invited back to coordinate the special events which take place during 2008's Sweet Auburn Festival in Atlanta. We are getting an early start this time around because of the geographical expansion of next year's event. E.Y.E. will be coordinating the (pre) VIP/Media Reception & (post) Awards & Recognition Luncheon(www.sweetauburn.com/springfest2008 ). If any of you would like to donate (your) company tote bags and/or products for filling, please let me know what you are able to offer. 500-1000 guests are expected to attend. Previous celebrity attendees have included: Cathy Hughes, CeeCee Michaela, Elizabeth Omilami, Thomas Hyde III, Kelly Rowland and a host of others. Door prizes (such as Gift Certificates, Event Passes, Gift Baskets, etc) would also be great. Any amounts of product will be greatly appreciated. Attendees, vendors & sponsors come from all over the world, so your business does not have to be Atlanta-based. This is an opportunity for great exposure.
