"Randye was the M.C. for the 2010 Connecticut Press Club’s awards banquet. Far from being just a pleasant presence at the event, she was able to steer the event smoothly from beginning to end. Her dynamic personality, sincerity and wonderful nature make her a pleasure to work with. We attribute much of the success of the event to her being our M.C. and will always be grateful."

"We utilized Randye Kaye as the MC for the evening's Silent Auction. Randye entertained the audience with her enlightening introductions of the bid items and witty and on the spot humor. She helped set the tone for the evening, kept the audience engaged the entire time and ensured everything flowed smoothly. There was lots of laughter and cheering in the audience. We received raving reviews afterwards. Randye was a tremendous asset to our event. "

Randye has been such a wonderful addition to our annual fund raising dinner/auction for the Burroughs Community Center. By wearing several hats including Emcee and Auctioneer she has managed to keep the events fun for everyone while also generating significant revenue for our agency. Her professional touch allows her move from humorous to serious as the agenda for the evening unfolds. She does this so smoothly that she brings everyone in the room along with her and allows each event to be more successful than the year before!
