Sorry it has been awhile since I posted. I definately need to get better at this. But let’s get you caught up.
In Phoenix, Hospitality Industry Professionals (HIP) has opened a new chapter on the East Side. This chapter is known as the HIPes. The first event was held on August 16th at the Marriott Buttes Resort in Tempe. The theme was carried through out the evening from the school food trays, lockers, chalk boards and the chapter collecting school supplies for the Communities in Schools organization. If you are interested in learning more about the east side chapter go to www.hip-az.org. The east side chapter will meet again on October 12th at Tre Bella! 119 W Main Street in Mesa.
The HIP Chapter is getting ready for their 3rd Annual Putt for a Purpose event at Grayhawk Golf Club on September 21st. Registration opens at 5:45pm and the festivities kick off at 6pm. You do not need to be a golfer to have fun at this event. Who cares if you can putt or not? Mickelson and Woods have had some doosy of putts too! As a matter of fact I just saw Mickelson miss a putt! Come have fun, take part in the Silent Auction. They are raising monies for PAC911 – which is a non profit benefitting animal shelters. Their goal is $5,000, come and support the hospitality industry and animals. They still have some hole sponsorships left too.
