Gatherings I have hosted have yielded reflections ranging from a painter saying, "Thank you for a session so full of love and laughter," to a cross-border entrepreneur saying, "This is the most organized party I have ever attended," to an Executive in Residence at a top Bay Area venture capital firm saying, "This is the weirdest get-together I have ever been on. Would do again." Let's be versatile based on your need, and always deliver the zest.
