As most people know, I love to entertain. I have had a knack for it my entire life and much to my father’s horror, I traded my G.I. Joe with my sister for her Easy Bake oven. While she went off to combat, I made us a lovely lunch. I can still see our little play house with its blue siding and yellow window boxes. I could set a mean table in those days with my little plastic plates and glasses. Now when I am asked to do a seminar on entertaining or a television appearance, I always try to incorporate something for children.
This past May, I was honored when St. Louis Magazine At Home and Neiman Marcus asked me to conduct a seminar on Contemporary Entertaining. It really allowed me to get out of the box and show ideas that work in the modern, urban home. It was standing room only and I had a blast! I have had so much fun hearing from various guests and getting their fun e-mails. I am glad that so many ideas have worked out for so many people.
AND I AM DOING IT AGAIN!
On October 26, 2006, I will be conducting the “Holiday Entertaining with Rob Schaefer” Seminar. Once again, it will be held at Neiman Marcus starting at 5:30PM. I hope many of you can attend. Steve and Kathy Becker will be providing more yummy, exciting hors d’oeuvres and specialty holiday drinks for your enjoyment. Please RSVP by calling Neiman Marcus at 994-5022.
Fall and Holiday time is my favorite time of year. I love the holidays! I get to use all the decorative “goo” that I have amassed through the year and bring out all my beloved entertaining pieces. Now is the time for everyone to decide on dates for their holiday parties and call us to cater them! 314-367-6050.
I’m sure that I will be on most of your guest lists again this year and I hope you won’t be crushed if I happen to be working that night and unable to attend. I do add a certain glamour to any event with my sparkling personality and kicky outfits. With or without me, planning and booking your caterer now will ensure an effortless party for you in December.
And if you need a little Rob inspiration, I hope you can stop in and see me on October 26th. Please RSVP so everyone will have a seat!
As Kathy Becker always says, “It’s not the steak, it’s the sizzle!” .
And I sizzle.
Rob
