So friends, it has been a few weeks since my last blog. I went back to Texas for Thanksgiving and the last week was busy getting back in to the swing. It is cold in NY!!! Today it was 32 degrees and really windy.
Nothing really exciting has been happening but Friday night I did get to help out with a black tie event at Cipriani’s. For those of you not familiar with Cipriani’s it is a well known banquet hall in the city. It was formerly a bank in the 1920s http://www.cipriani.com/cipriani/Locs/42main.htm. The atmosphere is amazing. My roommate works for the Boys and Girls club here in NY. It is a nonprofit organization that works with mentoring kids. They have an annual Christmas Ball to raise most of their money for the year. AlyG asked if I would help with the event and I was glad to. Each ticket is $1,000 in addition to a silent auction as well as a live auction. I have to say that it was pretty awesome. One couple donated $50,000 to a scholarship to the Boys and Girls club.
I helped with the live auction. When someone raised their paddle to bid on something I (with a handful of others) had to tie a balloon to the donator’s chair. Wait for it, wait for it… Yeah, that’s right I had to give people balloons! Sometimes I think God enjoys giggling at my phobias. It was okay though, no balloons were harmed in the process of the auction.
All in all, it was a pretty spectacular evening!
Well, I think I will get ready for bed now. Talk with you later this week.
