locales. We also can stage corporate Olympics, eco-tours and nautical scav- enger hunts. Bringing uniqueness to small meetings and taking participants out of their comfort zone can be very beneficial.”


Alfes has a working partnership with Gooseworks Consulting, LLC, a special events firm. “Our mutual objective is to make meetings memorable,” she com- ments. “In the coming year, planners can look forward to reaching meeting goals through rocket building, ‘minute-to-win-it’ games, collaborative challenges, dance competitions and even bridge construc- tion. These activities strengthen productiv- ity and company relationships.”


Golf meetings are a big draw, too. Harbortowne’s on site golf course was designed and built by the distinguished Pete Dye. Testing skills at all levels, its facili- ties are excellent, and its quality superb. Several packages are available at the resort that include waterfront rooms.


“When people come to Harbourtowne to meet, they encounter the unexpected,” says Alfes. “It is such a laid back and enticing resort with the wonders of St. Michaels just minutes away. We hope to greet many meeting and event planners at our FAM Tour on December 1, 2012. It commemo- rates St. Michaels Midnight Madness cele- bration and introduces Harbourtowne to potential meeting bookers. Eat, talk, min- gle, have fun and learn why you should hold your meetings here.”


Now is the perfect time to begin booking small meetings and events for 2013 and beyond. It’s going to be a spectacular year and these storied sites are eager to wel- come you.
