	<br /> <span class="style1">"I have attended Debbie Durkin's Main Event Red Carpet Lounge & Green Suite ( Oscars & Emmys) with my series regular actors and hands down - Debbie puts on one of the best Suites in town! The Main Event Suites are more like attending a party with old friends. Everyone feels so welcome and the overall mood of the room is casual, relaxed and fun! Somewhere along the line Event producers forgot about the fun part. Not Debbie! This gal knows how to put on a classy event with quality trends of style and substance and she never loses track of the fact that it needs to be a celebration with tons of fun! Debbie Durkin is a class act and knows how to put on a Hollywood Event. My clients and I could not be happier. You did an amazing job. Thanks Deb!" </span>-<span class="style2"><span class="style5"><strong>Anthony Turk,</strong> Publicist/Turk Entertainment</span> clients:<em><strong> Ed Begley, Rachelle Carson-Begley, Patricia Darkbo, Adrienne Janic.</strong></em></span><em><strong><br /> </strong></em><br /> <span class="style4">" I attended the 2007 Emmy's gifting suite and got<br /> amazing press via celebrity photos with my product.

The event was a wonderful experience to not only raise money but awareness within A-list Hollywood. As a young non-profit, events like these allow us to have a great footing for exposure. It's been exciting to see the press come in and hear about more celebrities wanting to get involved with our cause. Many donations to Invisible Children were made personally throughout the event, and we are always encouraged when we hear how people like Jonathan Lipnicki have been long supporters of our work. With the generous $1000 donation, we raised more than $3,000 for the event! Very exciting! hank you so much again for this opportunity.<br /> All the best, </em><strong></strong><em><strong>Carolyn Sams, PR Director Invisible Children</strong></em><br /> <br /> <em>I've been to several of Debbie Durkin's Main Event Red Carpet Lounges, celebrating different aways show, and have always had a great time. In addition to a wonderful variety of sponsors and products, there are fun taste treats and libations. <br /> The best part is that Debbie's one of the very few suite organizers who send us around with escorts, which serves to set us ease. <br /> She also changes her sponsor roster frequently, so we always have to pay return visits because we never know what treasures we'll find there each go-round.<br /> <strong>Karen Salkin, Beverly Hills People.com<br /> </strong></em> <br /> <em>Hi Debbie, just a note to let you know what a great experience this Oscars Lounge was for both of us, we enjoyed it tremendously.<br /> <strong>Cristina, YA YA Beauty, Boom Boom Hair, Canada</strong><br /> <br /> Debbie, thank you so very much, got your donation!!!!
