A Toast Is In Order

As co-owner of Catering By Robert/Event Concepts . FL, I am officially venturing into the world of BLOGGING. I bring to this genre a 15-year stint as a professional journalist, and 28 total years of doing special events as a full service caterer.

My husband, Bob, and I would not have any valueable information to share if it were not for the many clients, staffers, colleagues, and family members who inspired and challenged us along the way.

"Thinking outside the box" has kept us from major burn-out over the years. Our choice to handle only one to two large events a week may have not made us rich, but the rewards have been invaluable.

We've been able to put more of ourselves into our business. Also, we've had more time to LISTEN and LEARN from others . . . knowing our own ideas may have limitations. To quote Leonard I. Sweet: "The future is not something we enter, it's something we create."

So here's a toast to everyone who has helped us come this far and to those we have yet to meet in the future!
