Catering Corner

 Hi Y’all!

My name is Taylor Lankford and I joined the MacGregor team a few months ago as the Catering Director! I have been planning and executing events for the past six years and can’t wait to help you with yours. The giant puppy in the picture with me is Mosby. I also have a golden retriever named Dale at home. When I’m not hanging out with these furry friends, you can find me here at the Club! Thanks for reading through the Catering Corner. I had a blast preparing it for you. 2020 is going to be a great year and I can’t wait to meet all of you.

Happy New Year,

Taylor Lankford
Catering Director

New Year, New Trends

2020 will be a great year full of new ideas and change.

	NEUTRAL COLORS Tans, beige, blush, cream, and ivory are timeless. Use these colors for an elegant look at your next event
	DESSERTS & MORE Cake is out! Donut walls, dessert shooters, pies, bundt cakes, and candy bars are in!
	STATEMENT PIECES Bedazzled items, embroidered pieces, and personalized touches help to set your event apart.
	SPECIALTY BARS Gone are the days of boring bars, treat yourself to a margarita bar, a whiskey and scotch bar, or a martini bar!
	CELEBRATE EVERYTHING Whether you have a new job, split from a relationship, or got a new puppy, pop the bubbly and celebrate!
	GET CHEESY Cheese boards are not going anywhere. Add fun touches like nuts, chocolate, and even pretzels for a fun twist.

The Luck of the Irish

Here’s some fun facts about St. Patrick's Day!

The color of St. Patrick’s Day was originally blue.

Legend says that each leaf of the clover has a meaning — hope, faith, love, and luck.

Your odds of finding a four leaf clover is 1 in 10,000.

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Chicago dyes their river green.
