I Can Explain...

Sometimes my office feels like those quips at the end of a Readers Digest article. I share an office with Andie, another coordinator, and we often overhear each others phone conversations – some of them are begging for an explanation. Here are some of my favorites:

“Do you have anything that can explode indoors – legally?”
I was ordering confetti shooting centerpieces – look at the picture, you don’t even know they are in there! Surprise!

“Can I reserve an isle seat? But only on the right side of the isle”
The left-handed passenger requested that their left hand be in the isle for ease in writing. That’s detail!

“I don’t think he will go for surfing on Lake Michigan, its just not his thing”
One Attendance Building tool we have is Streaming Video e-mail, where we film a group’s leader talking about why they should come to GR – usually this isn't done on the lake!

“Do you have a Bob Barker?”
A game show themed event needs a game show (impersonator) host!

“I just talked to the squirrel”
Okay, the squirrel’s handler – Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel was unavailable to chat.

No matter how odd the question, it’s always fun to help find the solution for our clients!
