"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 getting lost in the fog. 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.

"Think about all of the talents everyone has on the island, as well as all the businesses. Put your heads together - not literally - and come up with a way to use those resources for your event. Remember that good networking involves giving a benefit as well as getting one. 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.

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