The Eugene Young Professionals Network held an event last week hosted by Evergreen Land Title Co., we had the opportunity to attend and meet a great many professionals in the Eugene/Springfield area. Hot August Cajun Night was the theme for the evening and upon entering everyone was layered with Mardi Gras beads and name badges. In the corner a small brass band played New Orleans style music, a tent offered cuisine unusual to us here in the Pacific Northwest such as alligator, whole crayfish and pickled everything. Of course we were all offered such concoctions like lemonade with a little kick. It was a nice atmosphere and we all the appreciated the effort that Evergreen Land Title put into the evening.



It was good to see a large turnout, an estimated 310 attendants, even if the sky turned gray, and the four of us who attended the event enjoyed socializing and meeting other young professionals in the Eugene business community. Though it was a "young" professionals network event everyone was welcome. We all brought school supplies to benefit the kids in Lane County and for every supply you brought your name was entered into a raffle drawing for a weekend getaway. Unfortunately no one over here at Limelight made off with the grand prize but the event was still a fun success for everyone!

The Cutting of the Ribbon

Last week here at Limelight Department we meet with members of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce to officially welcome our new office into the community. Our team, including the awesome interns, were all here to celebrate this wonderful occasion. One of our clients Field to Table catered the event and provided local produce with Italian summer flair to it like marinated skirt steak, fresh pesto, prosciutto wrapped melon and delicious vegetables with mozzarella. Cafe Vero also provided coffee for the event that I found myself drinking more than my fair share.


There was a great showing of people to our ribbon cutting and it was quite snug inside our office. When it came time to cut the ribbon everyone attempted to smash together outside the office in the petite hallway. It didn't work as smoothly as we would have hoped but we made it work!

Shaylor Murray, founder of Limelight Department, gave a short speech to thank everyone for coming to celebrate Limelight Department's current success. Ms. Lane County even decided to join in our celebration allowing us to spend some time to chat with her about her contributions to the Eugene area.

Here at Limelight Department we just want to thank everyone from the Eugene Chamber of Commerce for coming by and supporting us. We really are so excited to be here in Eugene and can't wait to be working more in the community.
