Event Pros Take Action Volunteer Day
NACE New Orleans is teaming up with EPTA on Monday, July 25th for a day of volunteering followed by a member happy hour to thank you all for your hard work. It is a full day of work, but if you can only attend for a half day please let us know. Also, if you can't make it on Monday, but would like to help out on Sunday you can register for Sunday instead.
In an effort to make an even greater impact on the community in 2015 EPTA began Cov Carnival, a special afternoon for the residents and staff of Covenant House. With “Cov Carnival”, EPTA underwrote the costs of carnival games including a bounce around, mechanical bull, dunk tank and more. With a DJ, face painting and many more activities and food, the day was filled with laughter, dancing and hugs. There are still sponsorship opportunities for the 2016 Cov Carnival. You can contact Emily Riemer at emily@deanies.com if your company would like donate food or sponsor a game for Cov Carnival.
