Hello friends!  I do hope most of all that you are all weathering the unique challenges of today with spirit, hope, and positivity (and vaccines and boosters too of course)!

It’s been awhile since I posted, happily reported to be because I’ve been working very hard on multiple jobs.  
I’m now back in business actively doing consulting work for my former employer, NW Children’s Foundation, as we prepare for their signature and always fabulous Gala + Auction: ReImagine set for May 14, 2022 at Fremont Studios. Hope you can join the fun. 
My calendar is also busy interviewing with some very exciting new work prospects here in Seattle ~ most focused on learning in all forms: my happy place!

Please take the best of care, keep in touch, and stay well. 
With warmest appreciation for you,
Vickielee

9/11/2015:  Another great day on the course for kids today at Trilogy’s Redmond Ridge.  Raised over $75,000 while enjoying fabulous golfing, weather, hot dogs from Dog Spot, and a yummy buffet from Tutta Bella and the course during our post golf awards presentation.  Thanks to all our amazing sponsors and golfers for their stunning generosity!

5/17/2015: My second NW Children’s Fund gala auction event is now successful history! Wowser, did we do some serious running during set-up today at the Fremont Studios. But with that final push, along with the year of planning & production that came before, all came together for a phenomenal event experience for our guests ~ and a grand financial result. We had a record-breaking Fund-A-Need and raised over $650,000! And that means that so many families and kids in need in our community will get the helping hand they need.

My undying gratitude to our stellar volunteers. You amaze me with your generosity of time and treasure, and sheer chutzpah and spirit! Thank you to the entire events team, and Congratulations! Now, get some rest!

6/25/2013:  Yay!  What a wonderful day!  So very pleased to announce I have accepted a position as Development & Events Manager with Northwest Children’s Fund. Amazing people, exciting title, and some very cool events to produce.  NWCF grants funds to over 25 local non-profits every year with nearly one million dollars. Check them out at nwcf.org

And June 16th will now be doubly special.

It is my personal special day, but it is also now the official birthday of SPOTLIGHT EVENTS! Here’s a toast to the public launch of my event production company. Yay!

The champagne is on me when next we meet. Until then, check out my website spotlighteventsnw.com and let me know what you think of my little baby now that she is sprung upon the world. Cute, right?

Thanks to everyone who help me bring this venture to life. Your help with crafting and references, quotes and pics, graphics and web design ~ it truly does take a village. I am so grateful for your friendship, talents, and support. Thank you.

5/30/2103: Have had the pleasure of meeting with some of our top-notch local NPOs in recent weeks. And the tireless commitment they display for their missions, and their communities, inspire me. Thanks to them, and to all our dedicated organizations. You blow me away.

5/28/2013: Joined Special Event Planners group on Linked In today. So much good work going on out there. And great new ideas, design, and technology to consider!

4/25/13: My 11th Powerful Change Luncheon event for Wellspring is now successful history! Wowser, did we do some serious running during set-up today at the Sheraton. But that final push, along with 9 months of planning & production, all came together for a phenomenal event experience for our guests ~ and a grand financial result. And that means that so many families and kids in need in our community will get the helping hand they need.
My undying gratitude to our stellar volunteers. You amaze me with your generosity of time and treasure, and sheer chutzpah and spirit! Thank you to the entire events team, and Congratulations! Now, get some rest!
