Here's the scenario: Everyone simply knew him as "Harold," one of the many street people who wandered through Las Vegas. He was seemingly a harmless, homeless person who elicited a smile and a muffled laugh whenever he was around - or so people thought. No one would ever have imagined what would be found when he met an untimely end, hit by a speeding sportscar in front of the Labachio Hotel and Casino while a shocked entourage of erstwhile pseudo-entrepreneurs looked on in disbelief. That's when the preconceived perceptions of Harold went through a traumatic transformation. For, as police investigated, they discovered that "looks are deceiving," and that Harold was more than a mere avenue adventurer. Who was Harold and why did he adopt his dilatory disguise? What was he looking for as he wandered waywardly in the wind? And, was his death an accident, or a premeditated plot that would have unexpected repercussions? Only expert sleuthing would produce a winning hand and solve the case. The Suspects . . . Preston Ellis - Premier Elvis impersonator. His dulcet tones perfectly mimic "The King." His jumpsuits are showing the strain of a few extra pounds. Mitsy Monroe - Aging showgirl. Her portrait used to grace the billboards in front of the Labachio.

He's always amazed at what people bring into his shop just to get a few dollars for gambling. Lisa Ride - Limo company owner and driver.

THIS EXCLUSIVE WINE & CHEESE MURDER MYSTERY PARTY KIT WILL WORK FOR GROUPS OF 8 TO 50.

You WON'T NEED to copy anything. Simply take apart this 8.5" X 11" book and you'll have what you need to orchestrate the mystery. Those who aren't suspects help investigate the case. Can you solve the case called "Death is a Cabernet, Ol’ Chum"?

Here's the scenario: It was an evening of wine and cheese at the Melee Vineyards in the Nippy Valley, celebrating the winery's tenth anniversary. Owner Malcolm Melee took great pride in pouring his world-famous Melee Cabernet, the wine that tickles the palates of wine connoisseurs around the globe. Over the past decade, his small operation has built a record of supplying a quality product, even though Melee's surly personality has produced more adversaries than advocates. The celebration was open to the public and the assemblage included both his supporters and detractors, some of whom openly expressed their opinions about his business practices. Melee simply laughed off all negative words, even dismissing the notion that someone was determined to end his reign as cabernet king. As the gathering broke up about midnight, Melee bade "farewell" to everyone and said he would stay around to turn out the lights. But this morning, it became deadly obvious that someone had planned lights out for Malcolm Melee, for his body was found at the bottom of the staircase that leads to the oak casks in the wine cellar. Someone had put the cork on Melee and taken action that would squeeze the winery's reputation.

The suspects . . .

Pierre LaPaine, Winemaster. His proven process for making the perfect cabernet was under scrutiny by the penny-pinching Malcolm.

Renee Melee, Malcolm's only child. She returned to the Valley last year to help her father run the winery. Everyone knew that Malcolm and Renee didn't see vine to vine.

Stan Milton, Owner of the Milt-Mart Stores. The land on which the winery is located would be a perfect spot for his next mega-sized discount establishment.

Nina Grigio, Writer for Wine Line magazine. Her discriminating palate can make or break a new vintage.

Carter Cabot, Owner of Cabot Vineyards. He suspected that Malcolm was using unfair tactics to capture the lion's share of the cabernet marketplace. Sue Veneer Gift shop manager. She sells bottles of Melee Cabernet and assorted trinkets to winery visitors.

Ben Breakfast, Innkeeper. His B&B, the Nippy Victorian House, is the most popular inn in the Valley. And, a bottle of cabernet is a welcoming gift for all guests.

Leelah Eagle, Attorney at law. She hates to lose and lately, for some unknown reason, she's been spending a lot of time researching information about the winery.

THIS EXCLUSIVE MURDER MYSTERY PARTY KIT WILL WORK FOR GROUPS OF EIGHT TO 60. You WON'T NEED to copy anything. Simply take apart this 8.5" X 11" book and you'll have what you need to orchestrate the mystery. Those who aren't suspects help investigate the case . . . Can you solve the case called "Hulas and Homicide"? Here's the scenario: She was known as the Hula Honcho. Winnie Waheli was the head judge at the annual hula contest on Kikiwai Beach. Once regarded as the most-accomplished dancer in all of Hawaii, Winnie's career abruptly ended two decades ago when one of her more strenuous moves produced a recurring medical problem that prevented her from ever competing again professionally. That's when she was hired by the Kikiwai Queen Hotel to organize and orchestrate the hula event. Each year, Winnie made a point of meeting the competitors and talking to the press, all the while ensuring that she was the center of attention. Tonight would have been the night that Winnie and this year's hula extravaganza would once again make headlines. But all is not well in paradise, for someone must have taken exception to Winnie's overbearing antics. This morning, her lifeless body was found on the very beach where she had achieved both fame and fortune, the victim of foul play. Who would dare end the career of the maven of movement? Could someone have plotted the death of the darling of divatude? Or, was this just the result of a temper tantrum by a close associate? It would take a unique perspective and expert investigative skills to identify the guilty party. The suspects ... Leia Lailani - Champion hula dancer. She has won the competition for the last five years. She knows the advantages of being in Winnie's good graces. Pono Pahu - Drummer. His rumbling rhythms have provided the perfect backdrop for the gyrating gestures of the deliberate dancers. Hanna Hobart - Amateur hula champion. Even though she was raised in New England, Hanna has been getting rave reviews for her interpretation of traditional island dances. Some people say only Hawaiians should be hula dancers. Norm Room - Owner of the Kikiwai Queen Hotel. He makes a lot of money during the competition. If Winnie ever decided to move the hula contest to another hotel, he could lose a ton of profits. Minnie Molawi - Chief assistant judge. For the past ten years, Minnie has been a judge at the contest. She knows everything about Winnie - even more than she cares to know. Mort Barks - Emcee of the event. When he sings "There she is, this our hula gal," it brings a tear to everyone's eye. Flora Fauna - For years, she's been providing the flowers for the contest. Winnie always wants her way with flowers - especially when she makes a special request. Mitch Awave - Surfer. In his quest to find the ultimate wave, he discovered Kikiwai Beach many years ago. Because of the hula competition, he has to worry about bumping into people while hanging ten. ------------------------------------------------- This complete Murder Mystery Party Kit from Mysteries on the Net contains everything you need to host your own event at home or in a large facility.

Companies and organizations in today's world operate in an environment where opportunities are tempered by world events and uncertain futures. They now deal with a new set of challenges and a need for accelerated change. Progressive organizations with vibrant cultures will survive. The others will not. Compiling observations of organizational culture made over three decades as a trainer and consultant, the author provides a unique look at how companies prosper or fail. The book delineates a system for looking at an organization based upon the attitudes of top management, the roles played by its members, and the operating philosophy that permeates all levels. The author makes the case that all organizations have a great deal of similarity in the ways in which they function, but within those similarities are the variations which make cultures unique. By quantifying the similarities and the differences, the book puts culture into perspective and enables a quick diagnosis, leading to prescriptions that remedy potential problems. Anecdotal stories used in this book really happened, providing a view of the American corporate world through the eyes of the author. This insider's look makes the reader privy to the thought processes that lead to conclusions about what is essential to an organization - especially in uncertain times. When these conclusions are ordered and analyzed, they provide a starting point for understanding and initiating potential reform. Frequently, they also predict an impending organizational death as viability can be questioned and scrutinized in light of an organization's workings. Although this book focuses on American companies, the concepts and conclusions apply to any institutions anywhere in the world in which people attempt to work together to achieve common goals and objectives.

The kit is a system for recording the attitudes and beliefs that people exhibit within an organization. It is designed to be incorporated into a larger program about organizational culture, change management or team building. The instrument is based upon the ranking of 19 statements that give a perspective of how a culture functions, and can be completed and scored in 10 to 12 minutes. What it does: * It is a vehicle to start the process of organizational evaluation and improvement. * It can enable a facilitator to make comparisons among various departments and functions. What it does NOT do: * It does not attempt to over-complicate the evaluation process or delineate everything about culture. * It does not give an "instantaneous" plan for improvement. It must be used in a collaborative environment in which results are interpreted. The analysis defines an organization in terms of three cultures: * CONTROL - This culture is based on power and position. Dominant personalities are rewarded, promoted. * COMMUNICATIONS - This culture downplays job titles and job descriptions in favor of open communications. * CONTENTMENT - Managers and executives in this culture are totally agreeable to operating in the same way they have always operated. Very few new ideas are implemented. The Cultural Analysis is laid out in a four-page format that can be easily reproduced. Plus, four pages of Facilitator Instructions are included, as well as three Workbook pages that can be handed out to participants or included in a larger document. The kit also provides instructions for designing an interactive program leading to an action plan. It is the perfect lead-in to a more-extensive planning session for organization improvement and renewal. Purchase includes unlimited reproduction rights for one year.
