2024 - Pink Paradise Prep!

Event Director Bracken Heidenreich

Jan 11, 2024

Pavilion Temperature, What Not to Bring, Mizell Center Benefit, Fabulous Flamingo Must-Haves

Hey there, Pink Peeps!  Just a quick feathered note: I know the information parade is in full swing, and if you're feeling a bit dazzled, I totally get it!  Remember, drowning in details is a far better extreme than the mysterious void of no information, right?


Anticipate a few more emails heading your way, each with precise nuggets of wisdom. Before most will start the migration to Palm Springs, expect one final email - your flamingo guide to everything you need in one tidy spot. For now, here's a sprinkle of extra info to keep the excitement afloat!


PAVILION TEMPERATURE

 A quick heads-up: our room's thermostat plays by City rules (it's off-site magic). So, if you're grooving on the dance floor, things might heat up—prepare for a tropical dance fiesta!  And when you're chilling at your cozy roost, the cool breeze might tickle your feathers. So, here's the scoop: dress in layers and feel free to strip those feathers if things get too toasty or chilly. Let's keep it comfy and stylish on the dance floor, one feather at a time!


WHAT NOT TO BRING 

Gentle feather-fluffing request: some of our fabulous flock really need to keep it fragrance-free. We can create a cozy haven for everyone by steering clear of scents, fragrances, and perfumes. Let's soar through this event together with consideration for our friends who delight only in the scent of pure flamingo magic. Your consideration will make our flamingo gathering even more delightful for all! 

Your no-fragrance finesse is truly appreciated!
