John needed to organize an event for his
NGO to help children who were poor and differently abled. It was a fund raiser
type event. He needed to make sure that the event should be in a place where
people won't feel suffocated and the place should be large enough to hold a
large number of people. He decided to do this event in an open ground with all
the general facilities. He started searching for grounds which were available
for events. He decided everything the venue, the caterers, the food, the
beverages, date, guest list, etc.
He sent the invitation to all his guests and
in a week the event was going to happen. Between that time, he himself went to
a wedding reception of one of his friends. It was the time of winter and John
realized that most of the guests at the reception were feeling cold including
himself. People were not comfortable and many were leaving just after wishing
the couple. Some were rubbing their hands continuously to have a feel of
warmth. That time he realized that this same thing will happen in his event
because as the event is in an open ground, they will feel cold and if his
guests are not comfortable, then they
won't stay for much longer and the fund raising for the poor and differently
abled children won't be a big success.
He planned everything, but forgot about
the cold climate. Now, he thought how to tackle this natural thing of God. The
event was due in 3 to 4 days. One night he went to a restaurant with his friend
and they were discussing this problem. Then John said to his friend "Even
though we are sitting outside don't you feel a little warmer here compare to
other restaurants?", his friend agreed with him. John called the manager
and asked him about this. The manager replied,"Sir, we have patio heaters
here at our restaurant for the people who likes to sit outside in open
air". John said, "where? I can't see it?".
The manager
replied,"Sir, the umbrella type structure you are seeing are the patio
heaters. They generate radiant heat so that you don't feel cold and have a
pleasant experience here". John was thrilled as he found the answer to his
event problem. But then again just for one event he can't buy patio heaters
because that would cost him a lot. So, he asked the manager that for one night,
can he hire their patio heaters on rent?. But manager denied because they could
not compromise the experience of customers, but he gave them an agency number
named patio heaters hire who gives patio heaters on rent for events and
functions.
John called the agency and gave them all the details about his event
and hired them to get him the patio heaters. The next thing you know, the event
started and everything was set including the patio heaters. The event was a big
success, a large amount of fund was collected to help the poor and differently
abled children. Had this been a successful event if patio heaters were not
hired?, definitely not.
