As a professional
master of ceremonies
I typically see a GALA time of year and
February is one of them with a couple of black tie events back to back. 
First up "Champagne and Diamonds" an annual event for a local hospital
network with international results.  Just an amazing organization.

As my second time as the event emcee
I was delighted to see the event had grown - in a time when most
fundraisers are seeing flat responses.   This year the money raised was
going to purchase a mobile mammography coach.  Last year, the money
raised was to build and purchase a mobile outreach coach to go to the
communities that don't have good access or personal ability to access
health care.  The cool part - the new coach they raised money for last
year, was parked out front for all to see what their efforts
accomplished. Just like I hope to see next year.

Congratulations on your most successful Champagnes and Diamonds yet and I
look forward to helping as your Master of Ceremonies
next year as well.
