Good day!

Thank you for your interest in participating in Events Management 101.

Two days ago, typhoon Sendong hit southern part of the Philippines leaving several cities, Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City, in devastation.

With this phenomenon, death toll rises to more than 650 and hundreds missing. 35,000 people remained huddled in evacuation centers and are in high demand of goods and medicines because of health risks after the storm.

In line with this, we have decided to change the venue of Events Management 101 to a smaller and cheaper one so we can contribute and help the victims of the typhoon. All the savings and proceeds we get from this seminar will be given to the victims of Typhoon Sendong especially in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City.

Venue of Events Management 101 seminar will now be at the Training Room of Sterling Global, 1402 Floor Raffles Corporate Center, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

You can also contribute by donating goods and medicines for the victims of Typhoon Sendong.

Thank you for your thoughtful and generous consideration.

Sincerely,

The Next Step Events, Inc.
