"Today we're going to practice using your networking skills," Nathan said. "Pretend that you're putting together a charity event to benefit all the teal deer who were made homeless thanks to last weekend's volcano. You need to figure out what kind of event to have and how you can make it happen for the least amount of cost but greatest amount of benefit to the charity.

"You all have the same goal, but different talents. Do your best to pair up with as many of your classmates as possible so you can bring the most to the table. Try to make it good, because once you've figured out your event you need to present it to your sponsor." Nathan gestured towards where Lana was sitting. "If she doesn't like it she won't put her company's weight behind it, and without her you won't have nearly as much donations or free publicity. She's going to want to see creative events that bring a lot to the table, so anyone who approaches her without at least one partner is probably not going to succeed.

"Get started and I'm here if you have any questions."
