Lexington, KY, January 18, 2012 –(PR.com)– Susan G. Cooper and Parham P. Baker of Event Tenders, LLC, a full service event staffing company, announce a recap of 2011, their first full year of operation.
Event Tenders grew many times their projections for 2011, growing to be the largest dedicated event staffing company in Central Kentucky. Event Tenders diversified in 2011 to include not only catering companies, event venues and hotels but began doing staffing directly for many corporate clients, fund raisers and weddings.
Event Tenders added high visibility clients during 2011 such as Lundy’s Catering, one of Special Event’s Magazine top 30 caterers nationwide. They were pleased to announce new clients such as the Kentucky Horse Park, Central Catering at Fasig Tipton, The CastlePost, Winchester Opera House and several Midwest convention centers and hotels. Event Tenders is a Commonwealth of Kentucky and University of Kentucky approved vendor as well as a SODEXO USA approved vendor and regularly serves these clients.
Event Tenders originally offered only certified bartenders and banquet servers in Lexington KY. They have now begun providing chefs, cooks, parking attendants, coat-check staff, door attendants and other hospitality staff during 2011. This rapid growth propelled Event Tenders to offer services in several other major markets including Cincinnati, Louisville and Columbus.
Susan Cooper pointed out that not only has the client base of Event Tenders increased dramatically but that the clients using Event Tenders have increased use of the Event Tenders staff. “Many of our clients that at first used our staff only to supplement their own crew have now started our team for all of their front of the house staffing…bartenders, servers and more.”
“We are very excited about our growth in the last year,” noted Parham Baker, “we feel that it bears out not only our dedication to providing quality staff with great attitudes, experience, work ethic and training, but a whole new concept in event and hospitality staffing.”
Event Tenders currently serves Kentucky and Ohio and is expanding into other markets during 2012.

New York, NY, January 18, 2012 –(PR.com)– “Relativity”, one of the current film projects from production company Safe Passage Pictures, is about the torrid and turbulent marriage of Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric. It’s a promising project, but it’s not just the surprise factor (cuddly Einstein, a cad and a wife abuser?) or the tightly written screenplay that makes this film a potential winner — it’s the philanthropic angle.
Mileva Maric, Einstein’s first wife and mother of his two sons, was a genius in her own right. But like many women in the fields of science and math, she faced steep obstacles. These are areas that were — and still are — dominated by men. So her plight is something that resonates with women of science today. And her story is one that could help strengthen their voice and promote their cause.
Safe Passage is one production company that is taking a creative approach to getting a film from paper to the screen. They are working with funders that are not only interested in financial returns, but in good works. The group of interested investors include members of some of America’s wealthiest families, storied entrepreneurs, and young mavericks looking to put their smarts, connections and energy towards good works — with some Hollywood glitz.
The goal is to fund the film in a way that will bring returns to specific charitable causes. In the case of “Relativity”, written by Adrienne Lusby Emiliana Monahan Dore, the plan is to use a portion of the film’s profits for promoting education, awareness and support of women in the fields of science and math. In addition, the film itself will serve as a teaching tool and an object lesson – not only during its theatrical run, but in classrooms and training facilities for years to come.
The cause is one that has not gone unnoticed. In an October 2011 article entitled, “Women Making Slow, Sure Strides In Science, Math,” the Huffington Post reported that “When it comes to the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields, women have been most successful in medicine and biology — and least successful in engineering, math and computer science.”
“This is a fascinating and entertaining story that will appeal to a wide audience,” says Sandi Castro-Migliaccio, a partner and producer at Safe Passage Pictures. “And wrapped in that is a useful and enduring lesson for those who are in the STEM fields, and those who would like to get into it. This story will help support the effort to bring more women into science and math.
Safe Passage Pictures, based in New York and Los Angeles, is looking to work in a similar

New York, NY, January 11, 2012 –(PR.com)– Cloud-based email may be just what nonprofits and small businesses need to save money, allow for growth, and improve security, whether a start-up or a going and growing concern. The problem comes with knowing how to evaluate what’s best.
In Ventureneer’s free webinar, Small Business, Nonprofit Savings, Security, Scalability with Cloud-based Email, participants will learn how to assess cloud-based email options and the pros and cons of making the switch from in-house to the cloud. The webinar will focus on Google and Microsoft business email.
“Cloud computing offers many benefits but managers don’t know what questions to ask and how to choose what’s best. This webinar will help them do that,” said Geri Stengel, founder of Ventureneer.
The free interactive webinar will be held Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 2-3 pm ET and taught by Jason Hutchins, president of Nonprofit Solutions Network, which specializes in providing customized IT services to small businesses and nonprofits. Hutchins will provide real-life examples of costs, savings, and those who have made the switch to the cloud.
When email is in the cloud, security, software updates, hardware upgrades, and expansion are managed by the service provider. When more mail boxes are needed, they’re available without buying new hardware or expanding IT staff.
And because this is the service provider’s business focus, it’s a good bet that the security and maintenance are going to be top-notch, which may not be the case at small or start-up businesses and nonprofits with limited budgets.
No, it’s not free or infallible but cloud-based email is worth a serious look. In this free, one-hour webinar, participants will learn:
-what cloud email is
-benefits of cloud email for small businesses and nonprofits
-drawbacks to cloud email, such as changing providers
-cloud email providers, with particular focus on Google and Microsoft
-costs (obvious and hidden) and savings
-how to determine the rewards and risks of cloud email
For small business owners, nonprofit executive staff, and start-up entrepreneurs, this webinar will provide valuable information about email security, options, and costs.
