We all love a good party, don't we? And we love it even more when our friends tell us that we're the ultimate party planner. But how many times does that happen? It looks like we need to hone our event planning skills. And what better person to teach us the trade than Debi Lilly, Oprah's event planner extraordinaire. Room & Board in Oak Brook is celebrating the location's 15th anniversary with the help of Debi Lilly. She will be on hand to tutor aspiring party planners on the ins and outs of A Perfect Event, which also happens to be the name of the book that she'll be signing. RSVP here, and from 1-3 this Saturday, gain the know how to become the most popular one at the party. [Racked Inbox]
