~ Some Notes for the Summer Season ~
Brought to you by Rick of The Private Professionals

Considerations for an Outdoor vs. Indoor Party:

If you're actually planning an outdoor event, then be sure to keep a close eye on the weather & have a back up just in case things aren’t working in your favor that day. It’s always good to have an alternate indoor location just in case you need to move things inside. You may also want to have a tent set up in case of rain (or even a quick shower). This also works well on hot days to help shade people from the blazing sun.

Heat can be a problem too! Allow for some shaded areas & be sure that your guests have ready access to good water. Alcohol is very dehydrating & guests can quickly get really thirsty. A couple of taller fans planted around seated areas can be a nice touch (just make sure you aren’t blowing away drinks & paper plates). And if there will be elderly guests attending, be sure you have availability to a cooler climate.

Bugs are a big issue in the summer. Put out citronella candles & have a few cans of ‘Off’ readily available. You may even want to fog the day before. Keep food covered, & serve sodas & beer in plastic cups…   Bees will often get in the neck of bottles & cans, & you don’t want an angry bee in your mouth!

Additionally, don’t have any glass products in an area where they may break & cause injury to people in bare feet. This is especially true if you have a pool or hot tub. A broken glass can cause havoc with the pump & filter system, & will often require to you to drain the entire pool!!!

City Guide:

You may have noticed we added a section called "City Guide" - a value added feature which offers a full listing of the area's many social & professional organizations (as well as several regional resources). We simply include this as a way to show a bit of appreciation for your support. 

Check it out: City Guide

We hope you have a fantastic season & we'll look forward to hearing from you!
