Open Houses Strut Your Stuff With Pride

• Involve your entire staff, and to the greatest extent possible, your staff's partners and children.

• Plan your date carefully, avoiding large corporate meetings and holiday weekends; a slow Friday is perfect, allowing the light schedule of top brass to attend. The possibility of inclement weather can also be a factor (we had to postpone Ben Franklin's affair twice in January when two consecutive ice storms virtually shut down the city of Philadelphia).
