We would have dinner catered by Helen the chef of Food & Bounty there. June 19 is the juneteenth holiday. If you think we should stay away from that lets lock in July 17. I agree on the invite strategy; There's over 120 of us and I send it to everyone and its first come first rsvp and then I always overbook because at the last minute life happens and folks bail.happy to work on an invite to share with you to lock in the messaging. This is an example of this month's salonChristine Dávila

And where would it be?I always feel like you have to send out 60 invites to get 20 so when we have the date / time and place — I'm on it.I'd stay away from holidays cuz most of these folks have kids.So great to see you!xxShaz Bennett.

I'm connecting with SJ about doing a specific all Latina thing BUT SEPARATELY, what I would really love to plan with you is a dinner for DGA showrunners/filmmakers, who want to connect directly with a group of film/tv execs and producers.eitherJune 19 - - although it is a holidayor July 17???A lot of us film/tv execs talk about wanting to have more direct relationships with showrunners and directors to move projects along so doing something like this makes so much sense. Say 20 directors on your end and 25 execs on my end. We are inviting y'all for dinner. No need for you to spend any money on this, we foot the bill in exchange for this cozy intimate opportunity. So many of us wish we had more direct access to talent so it would be amazing for you and I to head this up.Let me know when we can chat about it, I can tell you more about all the accomplished execs we have on our end who i can make sure to invite and vice versa, the folks we'd love to include.i'm avail whenever you are for a quick call or zoom!Christine Dávila
