Capitol Toyota Grand Opening Event

Class Act Events was privileged to plan Capitol Toyota's Grand Opening Event this past November. With over 300 people in attendance, the event was a hit!

The evening started with a red carpet ribbon cutting outside,

followed by inside festivities for the guests.

Inside the new facility, the tours began and the party came to life, filled with music by

Tall Jazz, hearty hors d'oeuvres and a full bar.

The evening of success was celebrated at Capitol Toyota's new location,

just off of the Salem Parkway at 780 Salem Industrial Drive.

It was a wonderful event, and we wish all the best to everyone at Capitol Toyota!

A Wedding Of One Of Our Own

Meet our groom, Brent...

Meet Liz, our bride

& a Class Act event coordinator...

Together, a match made in heaven.

From a winter wonderland engagement to a garden tea-party wedding, Liz {one of our coordinators here at Class Act Events} wanted something she knew only Class Act could offer:

beautiful rentals and priceless coordination.

From burlap table runners to three tiered trays, advice on which caterer to use and DJ to book, Class Act was able to invest and help Liz and Brent plan their dream wedding.

Featuring rentals from Class Act Events & Rentals.

A huge thanks to Erich McVey Photography for his beautiful pictures and capturing these priceless moments. Liz and Brent's wedding took place this summer at Green Villa Gardens in Independence, where the gardens were full and blooming, and the sun was shining brightly.

Robotics

Welcome to the World of Robotics

robotics:

the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots.

robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics.

How do robots and technology relate to Class Act Events?

Because we were asked to bring our expertise

to this inspiring, student-oriented, national event.

Mindy, one of our lead coordinators at Class Act Events, has been involved with FIRST, the organization that puts together Robotics, for the past six years. The FRC {FIRST Robotics Competition} challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week time frame using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and compete in games designed by a committee of engineers and other professionals.

think local.

Robots can be seen in West Salem among their students. Walker Middle School and West Salem High School both sent teams to compete in a World Robotics Tournament last spring.

Robotics and FIRST redefines winning for these students by rewarding teams for excellence in design, demonstrated team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is a secondary goal. Winning means building partnerships that last.

think Class Act Events

As a coordinator for Class Act Events, Mindy has plenty of experience in festivals, conferences, weddings and corporate parties. But Robotics is a whole other world.

Mascots. Mini "Bots." Gracious Professionalism. Robot Challenges.

It was a world Mindy loved, and has loved for the past six years of working on these competitions. Mindy has coordinated events in San Diego, Oklahoma City, Portland, San Jose and Salt Lake City, and was excited to join the FIRST team for the St. Louis championships this year. Class Act Events is thrilled to be working on Robotics as part of the New Hampshire-based Show Ready Events team. With six seasons down, Mindy is ready for another year of Robotics.

Oregon State Fiscal Association

This conference and business meeting was attended by over 150 state employees seeking training relating to their professional development. Keynote speaker, Leigh Anne Jasheway, started the conference with laughter, as well as applicable knowledge and information, in her speech titled, "I'm Flexible as Long as You Don't Change Anything: How to Embrace Change and Expect the Best."
