Dee Cannella

Honoring with Lavender Oil

We honor Dee's hair that the wind has played with. 
We honor Dee's brow that has been the birthplace of her thoughts.
We honor Dee's eyes that have looked upon us with love and viewed the beauty of the earth. 
We honor Dee's nostrils, the gateway of her breath.
We honor Dee's ears that have listened for our voices.
We honor Dee's lips that have spoken truth.
We honor Dee's shoulders that have borne burdens and strength.
We honor Dee's heart that has loved us.
We honor Dee's arms that have embraced us.
We honor Dee's hands that have held our hands and that have done so many things in her life.
We honor Dee's legs that carried her into new places of new challenges.
We honor Dee's feet that walked her own path through life.

We give thanks for the gifts that she has given to us in her lifetime.
Thanks for her abilities, her love, her care and even her human struggles. 
We give thanks for her memories that we created together.
We have been honored to be a part of her life.

Steve and Adam Cannella.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our longtime
Director of Operations and great friend, Dee Cannella.

"Dee was the anchor at EventWorks for three decades. She was always on top of her game. Diligent, organized, hardworking, loyal, strong, kind and fun, she demanded high standards of herself and everyone around her. If a client had a seemingly impossible request Dee made it happen. Her memory and her resources were unparalleled. Her skills and work ethic made her so successful in her profession and earned her the respect of all her colleagues and peers. She will be greatly missed."

Janet

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line...
