Letters To PartyCharlie:


Hi PC,

I'm throwing a big welcome home bash for my buddy, and I was wondering if it would be better to hire a DJ, or a band?

Bob S.

Bob, that's a question that comes up on a daily basis. Cost is always a factor. Hiring a DJ will be a lot less expensive then hiring a band. And of course you have to consider the location of the party. Most apartments and homes are not equipped with the proper power source that a band would require. A live band can be more exciting and impressive, but a DJ may offer a wider variety of musical styles. If you are renting a hall, and money's no object, then why not go for the whole enchilada, and hire a band and a DJ.

Hey PartyCharlie - HELP!!! My boss just put me in charge of organizing a weekly breakfast meeting. Could you help me out with some tips to make it a success?

Leonard

As with everything in life, first impressions are what people remember. So, don't skimp on the quality of the coffee! Having fresh brewed coffee and freshly squeezed juice before the meeting starts, will send the meeting in the right direction. Vary the menu!!! Don't just buy a box of doughnuts, or a fruit platter. That's not going to cut it. Everyone is different, so make the menu a combination of healthy foods as well as sweet concoctions. Change the menu around. Add and subtract menu items each week, to keep everyone happy, content and ready to work!!!

I'm giving my ten year old daughter Lindsey a birthday party. I'm a bit overwhelmed with the variety of birthday cakes on market. Can you help me choose a cake that would satisfy the majority of children?

Mrs. L. Solomon

Well, when it comes to kids, it's best to stick with the basics. A vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream cake will put a smile on every child's face!
