Well..well..well…look who showed up!

Hey there!

Soooo it’s been a minute hasn’t it?   Lots has been going on and it was hard to always find time to jump on the computer to write.  Cardinal rule: if you have a blog then you MUST MUST keep it fresh, active and relevant.  and well…..i broke that rule. the last post was June 2009! Argh….  Oh well enough “blah blah blah’ing” let’s get to why we’re here!  Over the last little bit I planned holiday luncheons, closing galas, appreciation parties and yadda yadda. It has been a GREAT learning exeprience and I enjoy growing in this industry. 

As you may know Events by Dionne is my own company that  I run full time with part time hours.  I have part time hours because  I also work full time at Allstream Centre & Direct Energy Centre at Exhibition Place.  It keeps me busy and requires constant answering of my phone, constant meetings, constant pitching of business and constant energy at the expense of many other things in life (you know…family, significant others, laundry, going to the freaking grocery store!! *breathe, inhale, relax* LOL) so I need to take a small break.  It’s not a complete hiatus because I’m still active in the industry at Exhbition Place working in the Marketing Dept, I’m still active with industry associations and events – I just won’t be taking on any new private clients or events for Events by Dionne as it’s closing the doors temporarily. 

I can now focus on a healthier work life balance and still engage through my experience in the marketing dept at Exhibiton Place. So for everyone who has worked with me, supported me, referred me, etc i say THANK YOU!!  I will open the doors of my “labour of love” another day in the future and when  I do  I hope to see everyone there! :0)

In the meantime you can find me at BizBash events throughout the year – the Toronto Expo is happening this September at Liberty Grand.  I’m joining ISES Toronto shortly so I’ll be around, I’m opening Allstream Centre May 29-30 for Toronto’s annual Doors Open Event, I’m organizing the Direct Energy Centre Golf Tournament this May 27 and sponsorship opportunites exist on various levels – just contact me:) and of course on any given day you can find me walking the grounds of Exhibition Place!

So until then…..Love Life. Stay in Touch. Keep Reading (now I’ll have time to blog lol) and Thank You Always.
