OMG I just got word that next year it will be my turn to host the “Carter Family Reunion” I thought I had a few more years before it was my turn, but apparently things have changed and my name is now on top of the list. We have a pretty large group of family members that attend these yearly get togethers and it is a big deal to have the responsibility of hosting one. I’m sure that I’ll have some help from my mother and a few of my siblings that are still in the area, but it will still be a challenge and it will take a lot of time and hard work to pull it off, so I’m glad that I have a year to get it all put together.
The good news is that there are now ways to make events like this a bit easier, thanks to the Internet. My sister has all ready sent me the link to the Online Event Management company that she has heard so much about from people that she works with that have had to organize large events in the past. Eventish.com advertises that they make event management, marketing and ticketing easy and affordable, so I am going to take some time over the weekend and check them out to see what they are all about and see if I think if using something like this would be the way to go.
If anyone out there has any suggestions, I’d love to hear from you by leaving a comment or by shooting me an email at the email address provided in the “About Me” section of this blog. A year sounds like a long time, but the clock is ticking and will continue to do so whether I’m ready or not!
