Website visitors will be able to check out the daily-changing menus, see nightly specials and events, as well as, follow daily tweets from the owners on what’s happening in the restaurant.  The “Latest News” nuggets will appear in the footer of the website to let patrons know about upcoming events, fresh new menu items, new wines, as well as, the local dish on staff and regulars.  If you haven’t tried Margaux’s you are missing one of the best restaurants in the Triangle, so check out the new website and head on over…make sure you tell them The DofM sent you!

We are thrilled with the awards and if you have had the chance to visit Se7en, you will know that their space is as special as these awards are for us.  The event rental space is perfect for birthday parties, special events, rehearsal dinners, corporate functions and charity functions.  Take a look at their site and give them a call for a tour if you have any upcoming events this summer!

On Saturday, March 5th from 8pm to midnight,  the coolest party in Raleigh will kick off…it’s called Masqueradium (www.Masqueradium.com).  This event will be held at 7, a boutique event space between downtown Raleigh and 5 Points (www.7Raleigh.com) and will benefit The Continuous Blessings Foundation (www.ContinuousBlessings.org).

Masqueradium is a New Orleans inspired masquerade ball that will have French inspired Hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, 6 piece band, a late night DJ and tons of entertainment… There is slated to be mentalists, flying aerialists, tarot card readers, magicians and more.

This is a “can’t miss” event!  Grab your mask and come on out!

It is finally official…Dogleg the Wolf joins “Tuffy The Strutting Wolf” as part of the NC State Wolfpack. We are very proud to be part of this process to create a new mascot/logo for Lonnie Poole Golf Course at NC State! Dogleg is currently adorning the plastic souvenir cups at the snack bar but plans for apparel are in the works. Dogleg also has been getting some press-check him out in the Triangle Business Journal.

Next time you tee it up at Lonnie Poole look for Dogleg the Wolf.

Wildwood Green Golf Club (www.WildwoodGreen.com) recently began an interactive marketing campaign with their email club.  Using a new technology called “Vmail” (video email), they will begin an engagement that will promote the course and upcoming events through sharing fun golf videos featuring trick shots and golf tips by their impressive list of PGA professionals.  General Manager and PGA Lifetime Member Willis Denmark is thrilled about this new marketing medium.  When he first learned of it he replied “Video Golf tips through email-that’s crazy…what’s next Tiger losing his #1 golf ranking?”.

The Department of Marketing was brought in to help with the strategic marketing plan and video production for the club (and to try to learn a few things for their golf game too)!  Wildwood Green Golf Club is one of the most convenient locations in the Raleigh area located near the corner of Creedmor and Strickland Road, and is known for their well kept course and ease of access.   Be on the lookout for your VMail from Wildwood Green in the near future or sign up on their website to see what a virtual golf lesson can do for your game.

Never before has such a high peak been the site of such high stakes…and it’s all about the water!  The DofM partners with WorldServe International to help create their website and market their upcoming fundraiser – KiliClimb (www.KiliClimb.org).  What is the  KiliClimb?  Glad you asked…

In January 2011, business, community and church leaders from across the world will join together to scale Mt. Kilimanjaro-Africa’s Highest Mountain at 19,330 feet.   Each step to the top will mark a step toward ending the water crisis for up to 50 communities in East Africa. The event goal is to raise
$1 million for clean water projects. Each climber is matched with one of our specified village projects. This way, supporters of each climber can know where their dollars are going!  Check out their site for more details and ways to get involved!
Nearly 1 billion people (1,000 million people, to put that in perspective) lack access to clean, safe water.  Every 15 seconds an African child dies from a water-related disease. You CAN help!  See you at the TOP!
