• LPGA here I come

  2 days after my post about working the Gala at the LPGA, I was asked to actually work at the LPGA! For those of you outside of Rochester and have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, let me tell you:

   

  The LPGA is the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Every year in June a tournament is held at a country club here in Rochester. Wegmans is the main sponsor; therefore the tournament is called the Wegmans LPGA. Wegmans does all the food, all set up, the webcast, they’ve even put up temporary buildings and tents for different food venues (I was able to check all this out last week during my tour of the grounds). All the news stations around will be there, even ESPN.

   

  I’m very excited about this opportunity to work the whole tournament (Thursday through Sunday)! I will be the concierge at the Corporate Villa. Besides directing people and answering questions I’ll be allowing (or not allowing) people into the Corporate Villa. This is the place where all the VIP go to eat, drink, relax, and get out of the sun. Once inside it’s all you can eat & drink – for free. Some people have paid for this privilege, and well others, just get it. So I’ll be there – checking passes and the guest list, letting people in… or not! I’m stoked, it will be great to have a break from the office, do something different, and meet some important people!

   

  Saturday will be the busiest day, working 10-4 as the Concierge, and then probably 5-10+ at the Hillside Gala and all I have to say is: bring it on! Did I mention how well I’ll be eating all week, as most of the chefs (especially in the Villa) I know or work with…? Lovely.
