November 2011

 

I started my November with a huge fundraising event by the Habitat for Humanity of Summit County; A Night to Build Hope was held November 4th at the Portage Country Club. There was a dessert room, caricaturist, and photo booth.

During the event, I sold tickets for the $1,000 raffle that was drawn at the end of the event. Between the silent and live auction and the money rose from the raffle the event brought in over $40,000. That is more than enough money for half of a house. It was a great night, and it was an honor to be part of the organizing committee for this event.

The last weekend of the month, I participated in the Akron Welcome Santa Parade. I was really excited to be in this parade, since the last time I had I was 4 and sat in the back of a pick-up truck with the rest of the young dancers in my tap group. I shared a car with Zaina Agbo, Ms Northeast Essence. It was so amazing to see how many people came to the event, and the weather was amazing, especially for the end of November. Thank you to Serpentini for allowing us to borrow an amazing Camaro for the parade.
