The Report
Our first big wine dinner!! We had one pair of no-shows (G. McKnight) but overall this was very well-attended. Everyone was seated almost on time, but the amuse and first wine was all ready to go on schedule.
I cannot say enough about how well banquet staff did tonight. We ran through our service plan just twice but they caught on almost immediately, with only a couple very small hitches. They've been killing it recently!! Jake, Khoris, Kevin, and I poured wine before every course as planned. There were two special entrees..Rick handled those.
We heard great feedback from the membership afterwards

Women in Philanthropy
Good day for the Women in Philanthropy group. They needed a fair bit of help with various things when they arrived. I also spoke with Pam Uros and she was very set on the timeline (which is always nice).
We did coffee before they fully sat and after we served entrees. We didn't have enough creamer caddies for the tables so we did the usual and had someone going around with cream. A couple people took us up on the 10 extra tuna dishes and we had a couple vegetarians as well.
Everything went pretty smoothly, I wasn't alerted to any issues

Augusta Newcomers
Good day for the Augusta Newcomers. The host arrived around 7:30 and started setting up with very minimal assistance. She also gave the staff raffle tickets again this year! ( We didn't win anything :c )
Khoris and Garrett managed the 8:00 valet need with ease; they didn't really use it too much this time...
Lunch was served a whole 30 minutes ahead of time, around 11:30 instead of 12, and everything went well. The special entrees + desserts went out and we were able to accommodate an extra vegetarian. Staff as a unit kept an eye on the drink station throughout service
Once everything got going this was pretty quick overall, they were out by 1:00 sharp

Augusta Dental Society
All went well for the Dental Society tonight. I checked in with both the speaker and Dr. Leggio to make sure they had everything needed and to confirm the timeline as soon as they both arrived. We had some people try and jump the gun and head to the buffet before we had the chance to serve salads but that's to be expected...everything went great, no issues

Social-Dancing
Social tonight went as well as it always does, and on time.
We haven't been this staffed for a Social (or dinner in general) in quite some time, so I definitely could have split the ballroom into two teams. The new hires did well for the most part, just need some polishing on service.
Nevertheless, all the special entrees went out perfectly fine, everything went well

Natalie Thompson 40th
This event was held in the Lounge.
No food, just bev. Khoris kept a watchful eye on the bar for the ladies while Shannon and Dallah put the finishing touches on our reset for Social tonight. This was a pretty quick one, they were gone before 3!
