There is a very gracious host/hostess who not just opens his/her home for fundraising events and nonprofits to meet, but also provides “refreshments.” To eliminate numerous trips to the store for beverages, s/he keeps a well-stocked kitchen and bar. So you can imagine how s/he felt recently when the morning-after one of these events s/he learned that the organizers of the previous night’s event had left with two cases of wine.
Let’s just say that this organization won’t be the recipient of future hospitality at that household.
Kersten Rettig says
I’m speechless. That’s terrible.
Chessica Moon says
That happened during a charity ball that I was the chair for. It is a shame when people take advantage of someone’s kindness.
Maggie Kipp says
Hopefully this was innocent – did hostess or host ask if this was an mistake? Can only hope that staff thought agency had provided the refreshments when they took home ;-( Otherwise … yikes!!!
Jeanne Prejean says
@Maggie: I fear the organization has only one person on staff. And evidently both staff member and those in charge knew the host/ess was providing everything but the guests.
Jocelyn White says
It is what it is…just plain stealing. What a shame that the organization will suffer for what a few greedy individuals did.
Teia Collier says
I agree, yikes!
Nita Pipkins says
I am glad you are politely calling out this shameful behavior. I hope the gracious & generous owner of the home calls this person out directly. It’s bad behavior that should not be tolerated because if they get away with it, they will do it again! Stealing is stealing – period.
