Entertainment and Relaxation Principles

● People entertain people best.● Theme is, in the best sense of the word, an excuse to get

people to come together at a scheduled time and place.● The theme has to be good, to get people to come there the

first time.● The courtesy, activities, and logistics have to be

impeccable, to keep people willingly coming back.● When people relax, they grow (absorb new knowledge,

network)● It is possible to create the conditions for relaxation
