Macy’s Events

Macy’s and the Romare Bearden Foundation held an event tonight in celebration of Black History Month. It was held on the 3^rd floor in Impulse section of the store. There was live jazz, light refreshments, wine, and dance performances. It was an overall top notched event.
Photo station where you could take a portrait shot in front of a green background. And instant gratification. You get a 5×7 black and white photo to take home. Background is the Cotton Club in Harlem.
We learned about the Foundation. Also found out who the 100 Men was about. A group of black men who mentor black youth at risk, and are starting a charter school in Oakland. We also viewed a few paintings by Bearden, and mingled with the crowd.
The catering staff was very proficient and the wine and food flowed. Great job.
Thank you Macy’s for a fun and informative evening.
The only con — one of the Macy’s event coordinators lacked tact and diplomacy. My friend checked us in at the table by the event entrance. As we attempted to enter, the coordinator quite rudely says «you need to check in first» like we were attempting to crash the event. She appeared out of nowhere. Another event coordinator doing the hand stamping was the complete opposite. Made up for the little rude one.
