WCE is "Goin' Green" ...
A New Year brings new growth opportunities
for a company that has been in the event
planning business for more than 30 years.

This year's new initiative is to bring the company
even more into the “green” movement – as the
staff develops more awareness and activities
around environmental issues.

“At our daily meetings now, we each bring in
ideas related to our business that will help our
environment,” said Daniel Blagovich, company
president of West Coast Entertainment (WCE).
“Some of the ideas we can begin to implement
right away; others are more long-range and
will take a little more time to accomplish. But,
these eco-friendly ideas are definitely setting
a direction for many of our company operations
as well as our parties and events.”

WCE has been the leading event planning
company in the Northwest since 1978. And,
with the strong position the company is taking
now in providing “green” event planning
options for area companies and individuals,
WCE is positioned for sustainable growth for
years to come.

Green Opportunities Are Everywhere -
West Coast Entertainment (WCE) is
doing the little things that will help
the environment for years to come.

“When we began looking at being
“green” – we knew we couldn't do
everything all at once,” said Daniel
Blagovich, President of WCE. “But
we also knew that anything we
could do, would make a difference.
So, believing that the journey of a
thousand miles begins with the first
step, we decided to get on the
pathway – and lead out in this
important trek.”

Some of the little things West Coast
Enteratinment and staff are doing
right now include:

- Initiating a paperwork reduction
program, to reduce office paperwork
by using more electronic files and
communications

- Examining the supplies used frequently
in the business – to see if there are more
eco-friendly alternatives – even for such
things as coffee blends and filters

- Evaluating and changing to the use of
recycled materials whenever possible and
reducing the number of printed mailings

“We know there are many more things
we can and will do,” Blagovich continued.
“We want to be known as the event
planners who can do it all – and that
includes being environmentally aware.”

Need a little extra cash? – West Coast Entertainment is looking for seven more
fun-loving people to join our part-time
dealer staff for our Casino Parties.

We train and certify dealers in the most
popular casino games.
