To have a great event, it requires quite a bit of organization and some creativity. What To Do First Planning an event requires the event organizer to coordinate dozens of details and several individuals. Being ahead of the game is always the best way to ensure that your event will be a success. Regardless of the type of event you are planning, you need to have a topic or an idea of what your goals are for the event. T ypes of Events : • corporate events • office parties • fund-raisers • celebrations/parties • conferences • educational seminars • public lecture with an expert speaker • video showing • public debate between 2 experts Basic “Pieces” of an Event There are several elements that are frequently part of special events. They include: • Topic or goal • A planning team • Budget • Facilities • Event program • Guest services • Event materials • Evaluation • And many more! Topic or Goal • Choosing a topic (for a seminar or conference), a financial goal (for a fundraiser), a program (for a celebration/party), or just a basic purpose for the event. The Planning Team • Assemble the team that will plan the event.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Arika Beaudry Vice President Regan Communications 617-488-2890 [email protected] WRKO’S JEFF KUHNER AND REPRESENTATIVE O’CONNELL JOIN FORCES TO FILE CHILD SEXUAL PREDATOR PREVENTION ACT Proposed legislation creates one-strike law against child predators BOSTON, MA (December 12, 2012) – AM 680 WRKO’s Jeff Kuhner, host of The Kuhner Report, announced today that he and State Representative Shaunna O’Connell have joined forces to create a new legislative package called the Child Sexual Predator Prevention Act. The bills will mandate a minimum 25 year sentence for the first offense of raping a child, a 40 year sentence for the second offense and a life sentence for the third conviction. Moreover, all level 2 predators will be required to have their information posted online and will be available so the public has access. Moments after John Burbine was arrested for more than 100 charges of alleged rape and sexual assault of 13 young children, WRKO’s Jeff Kuhner decided to take action. He tapped State Representative Shaunna O’Connell, 3rd Bristol House District, to help file legislation that will send a strong message that the Commonwealth has no tolerance for child sexual predators. Currently, there is no mandatory sentence for first offense rape of a child. Mandatory sentences only apply to aggravated rape of a child, but assaults such as the ones allegedly committed by Burbine would not be categorized as aggravated. In his live broadcast on WRKO’s The Kuhner Report this morning, Jeff Kuhner outwardly challenged Governor Deval Patrick, Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray for their support of this legislation, stating: “You say your care for the children.
