A Kit to Save Your Caboodle
In the April 2008 issue, Meetings & Conventions magazine reported on Personality Hotels’ “Emergency Resources Kit” - given free for planners who book meeting space at certain properties. The article then suggests that “other planners might want to create their own.”
Whether you are a meeting planner, team leader or facilitator, carry your own caboodle of supplies. Here’s my list that I keep stuffed in a briefcase/bag, ready to go for my next meeting:
- Advil, Tylenol or other pain remedies.
- Alcohol swabs
- Bandages (especially finger band aids!)
- Hand sanitizer
- Kleenex tissues
- Low tack masking tape (drafting or painter’s tape)
- Marking pens (Watercolor & Dry Erase)
- Mints, candy, gum, cough drops
- Name tags/name tents
- Index cards
- Paper clips
- Post-it flags
- Post-it notes
- Post-it correction tape
- Power strip and/or extension cord
- Push pins or upholstery “T” pins
- Rubber bands
- Scisssors
- Shout wipes or a Tide pen
- Stapler and staples
- Straight edge ruler
- Tape measure/level
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- 3 Prong adapter
Question: Do you keep a fully stocked kit that will save your caboodle in a pinch?
