Event Planning Seminar Offered Through Community Extension

For anyone who has ever had to plan a big event, it becomes evident very quickly that the devil is in the details. The larger the event, the more details there are to consider. College of the Canyons Community Extension now offers a seminar called “Power Entertaining: The Art of Event Planning” designed to help planners gain control of the details and put the fun back into event planning.

The course is designed for those who want to start a new, exciting, lucrative career in special events and for those who simply want to create a “great” party. Instructor Farla Binder will teach participants how to enjoy coordinating their next special gala, wedding, corporate or social event, fundraiser or small private gathering by sharing techniques and valuable trade secrets she has learned over the years as well as the basic tools of event planning.

This three-hour seminar will meet from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 15 on the COC campus. The registration fee is $39.

To register for the seminar or for more information about COC Community Extension courses and activities, call (661) 362 - 3304.

This is a “fee-based, self-supporting” class offered by College of the Canyons Community Extension and is not associated with the taxpayer supported, credit classes offered by the college.
