How Door Prizes work: Ladies names (or numbered tickets) are put into a box. We draw a ticket - for choice of door prizes; 1st drawn - 1st choice, next drawn - next choice, so on....until all prizes are given away. Once you win, your number/name is out of the box. This gives everyone a chance to win something. No raffles, no money, free door prizes!
30 ladies max. to attend (limited space)
Any Qu: Please contact Brenda (Organizer of this event) [masked] or email her through this web site.
Also, I will be providing hand-made name tags for all of the ladies attending this event. Please let me know what you would like on the tag (if different then your name posted).
I’ll be sending you a conformation email one week before the event - it is very important that you respond to this email since ladies will be on the wait-list, and I will be hand painting the names on the tags at that time. Thank you.
Anyone who has not signed up yet: We have 28 ladies signed up. I've started a wait-list for cancelations, so please email me (better yet - call me) so you will be next in line for a space. Thank you.

Please answer this Post if you haven't selected your entree - very important - Please confirm before Dec. 1, 2012.
If I haven't heard from you on your entree selection - NM needs this information in order to have the luncheon run smoothly.
And I need it to confirm your space. Are you still coming????
Please - please send me an email to confirm your space and entree selection as soon as possible (entree’s are listed in the ad).
If you are not able to make the luncheon: another lady may want to go but because it’s posted “sold out” they may not inquire. So, please be courteous and let me know if you are not coming.
Please note: I will not be making a name tag for any ladies who have not confirmed with an entree selection.
Dec 1 - I will be making up name tags.
Also, if you have RSVP that a friend is coming with you- I need her name and entree selection too.
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Brenda White

Hello Ladies,
Just talked to the chef. He needs a count for the food. He’ll be emailing me the menu “hopefully” by Monday. I’ll forward it to all of you. Please email me back at what you will be ordering. That way he can have a pre-count of how many of each dish he’ll be serving. Thank you.October 27

Ladies,
Idea time: I’m going to be approaching some local merchants to donate door prizes (no raffles, no money, free door prizes). It gives the merchants advertisement and us a door prize (win/win situation). If anyone want’s to approach a merchant that you frequent (restaurant, nail salon, shop, etc...), and they donate a door prize, it will make the event all the more exciting.
I’d like to put ladies names (or numbered tickets) in a box and draw for choice of door prizes. Once you win, your number/name is out of the box. This give us all a chance to win something.
What do you think? Would you like to help out with this?
My gym, I believe will be donating a free 30 day membership. I just ran it by the owner and he’s excited (likes the idea). So I think other merchants will too. Please let me know?

I just talked with Megan from Neiman M. We've changed the sitting arrangements from 6 small tables of 4 ladies each to 3 large one that sit up to 10 ladies each. So good news, my max is now at 30 ladies.

Brenda,
Thanks for organizing this event. It sounds fabulous. looking forward to meet all.October 21

The event is $30.00 per person and that includes tax and tip. I tried to get all info from Megan (PR Neiman Marcus) last week but the chef was unavailable. I'm going to call Megan on Monday to set an appointment to sit down with them on the details. I'll be posting everything then. The cost is already set at $30.00 per person. That will not change. I believe everyone will be paying Neiman Marcus upon arrival (cash or credit card (?)) I'll go over that with Megan, too. Ladies are just paying for their lunch. I'm making the name tags and paying for the door prizes out of my own pocket (a few small door prizes). A holiday gift from me. If anyone want’s to donate a door prize it would be welcome but not necessary. I'm doing this just for the fun of it!

Ladies, we have 25 ladies signed -up as of today. One is on the wait-list. I’m trying to get Neiman Marcus to allow us more space. Meeting with them next week to go over things. And hopefully use the larger tables, thus adding a few more spaces. I'll keep you posted.

Ladies Luncheon Update:
We have 9 ladies from Tri-Vally Women's Social Group, 6 ladies from Smart, Strong, Successful Women’s Group, myself, and 2 ladies from outside the groups. That’s 18 so far and the luncheon has only been posted 5 days! Leaving only 6 more spaces left.
After we get 24 total, I’ll start a wait list for cancelations.
Just talked to Meghan (PR Neiman Marcus), not an option to extend space, so 24 ladies is our limit. Sorry.

Hello Ilsa,

One question to all: I'm making everyone a name tag and need to know what you prefer to be called. Some ladies have nicknames, so please let me know what you want on the tag. Thank You.
