Attention South Florida Residents! On September 1, 2010, The Fairchild Palms is hosting a great networking event from 6:30pm – 9:00pm at the Green Seal Certified Epic Hotel’s, Area 31 Terrace located at 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way. The Fairchild Palms is the young professionals’ networking group of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and they will be fundraising for The Fairchild Challenge,
a South Florida-based environmental education and conservation program credited for leading a green revolution in schools nationwide. 100% of donation proceeds are used to support the program dedicated to fostering lifelong environmental awareness, scholarship and stewardship in teenagers, pre-teens and their families.
I think this local organizations environmental mission deserves kudos. A tip for you… The Fairchild Palms encourages a $10 voluntary donation at the door. Money well spent in my opinion, because the event offers two for one drinks, free appetizers, awesome views and access to great people while supporting a good cause.

When MJE Downtown wanted to start a new summer event, they made just one call, to Iris Fields. MJE Downtown knew that they wanted to host an amazing cocktail party that would wow the guests and help raise money for their organization.
From day...
...to night! Highbar's rooftop oasis was the perfect Manhattan backdrop
Perched on top of one of Manhattan’s most exclusive rooftop lounges, 200 young Jewish professionals got together for the Manhattan Jewish Experience’s Summer Soiree. Highbar’s fashionable roof deck and cabanas with stunning views of New York City’s West Side provided the perfect location for the hipster downtown crowd.
The open bar brought in an early crowd, eager to celebrate the end of the work day. Guests stayed for the sunset and great company, not to mention the fabulous donuts from Holey Kreme, and kept the event going for several hours. The raffle, with hot-ticket items such as a night in Atlantic City and tickets to a Black Eyed Peas concert, kept things interesting while guests mixed and mingled on a little oasis in the heart of Manhattan.

So, I was listening to the radio the other day and heard this story about a 35 year old woman who has decided to set a wedding date for February 2011 without a groom. Yes folks, she has put a deposit down on a venue, contracted a florist and is researching bands, all without a groom. Now, I am all about putting an idea out into the universe with the hopes that it will come to life, but putting down money? This is against my better judgement as a professional and a human 
However after reading this article and seeing that she has gotten a ton of press for it and even a ton of dates, it gets me thinking that maybe she is on to something?
