SGASi employees Keith Menne, Brent Klein and Ben Slayter installed VIP risers at the 2009 JazzFest in Old Town Lansing.

Kathleen Petersen and Sara Link attended the National Assocation of Catering Executive’s Taste of NACE: Orlando last week, and snapped a few shots for us.

Kathleen writes, “SGASi donated 210 running feet of 22′ tall white chiffon, which was in all the entrances and placed in various areas throughout the main ballroom. Since wthis was a Susan G. Komen fundraiser for breast cancer awareness, pink lighting surrounded the room and reflected on our drapery just beautifully.”

Thanks to Kathleen for the photos, please be sure to check out the miniature podium with “Staging Sara” Barbie doll. These women are awesome!
