"Christmas...Down on the Farm" event could not have been undertaken without Sonia's willingness to commit to the task on very short notice.  Her organizational skills and focussed attention to the smallest of details resulted in rave reviews for this first-ever event."  K. Kirkwood-Whyte, ED United Way of Chatham-Kent

"Sharon has always exemplified the work habits that an employer searches for, and seldom finds.  She puts her heart and soul into the project and no detail is too small.  I was always amazed at how Sharon seemed to have already solved a potential problem almost before others even thought of the possibility of there being a problem!  Her work was always delivered on time, regardless of the stumbling blocks that may have surprised her along the way.  No excuses were ever made.  It was simply just done and done well."    

B. Trinca, Chatham ON

"I am pleased to forward my unfettered support for Sonia in this undertaking with Sharon Haycock.  I am confident that any event which they would undertake would be characterized by careful and energetic planning, attractive decor, delightful ambiance, delectable cuisine and engaging human relationships." B. Fox, Special Projects Consultant, Chatham Capitol Theatre

"Sonia worked with the CCC-K to develop the Mulitcultural Thanksgiving Brunch, a fundraiser for our organization.  Throughout the entire planning process of the event, Sonia demonstrated good communication and diplomatic skills.  She kept everything runnning smoothly, on time, and under budget.  I felt comfortable having Sonia plan the event due to her strong attention to detail and professionalism."    

T. Fysh ED, Cultural Coalition of C-K

"Sharon excels at coordinating events from concept to successful reality.  She works very well with volunteer Boards of Directors, committee volunteers, donors and sponsors.  Sharon was always astute in leveraging the good name of our charity to ensure that we received the best value possible from our suppliers and that our events were always top notch."  R.S. Fortnum, MA, CFRE

"I experienced first-hand how Sharon could recruit and retain volunteers for events, year after year.  Sharon encouraged open and consistent communication which is key to keeping volunteers engaged and motivated.  I appreciated her attention to detail, her orgnizational skills and the ideas she brought to the table to make all the events memorable."  J. Clements, Communications Specialist, Union Gas Ltd.

"I have no reservations in strongly recommending Sonia Valencia-Taylor's organization (Ideal Quality Events) as the organization of choice to help develop, coordinate and implement your fundraising event successfully."     M. E-Emmanuel, Board President of Cultural Coalition of Chatham-Kent
