Inese
Alvarez is the director of the RSVP Volunteer Program of Summit
Summit County sponsored by Mature Services, Inc. in Akron, OH. Tea
@ 3 with RSVP served as a fundraiser for this past May. Two years
ago Inese claimed 20 pounds of tea being donated by a local coffee/tea
shop that went out of business. This is the second year of the event
which this year earned $4,204 for RSVP and attracted one hundred
and sixty attendees. The event was held at the Akron Woman’s
City Club which is an old “Victorian” style mansion.
Colorado: 2nd Not-Quite-Annual AmeriSpuds Recipe Contest
You probably saw the notices Bruce Cline posted about the Not-Quite
Annual AmeriSpuds Recipe Contest on the e-mail lists. Bruce Cline
is State Program Director for the CNCS Colorado State Office in
Denver. Bruce created his event to encourage networking among National
Service participants, to promote low cost and nutritious eating
among members, and just to have some fun. Give Yourself Enough Planning Time
Every event is different and needs its own action timetable. Some
event planners start 12 months prior to the actual event. A less
complex event may begin six months prior to the event. Some events
may need separate timetables for specific aspects, such as printing
or public relations.

Inese
Alvarez shares this about her event: “It was high end tea
and included about twenty different types of exotic teas including
rooisbos, white tea, sow me, MIM, organic spearmint and peppermint,
chais, and more. We decided that since we had so many unique teas
that we wanted to bill this as more of a “tea sampling”
rather than a tea party; we didn’t want to exclude men from
coming either so a tea sampling sounds better to men then a tea
party. The atmosphere and ambiance of the Akron Women’s City
Club are the perfect location for a tea party. The Women’s
Club did an outstanding job at preparing typical “English
tea fare” which consisted of scones/whipped cream, fruit,
tea sandwiches (cucumber, watercress, chicken salad) and a variety
of pastries. The club charged us $9.00 p/p.”
