This past weekend I was honored to host an amazing non-profit event. Two wonderful organizations (the Monte Cristo Center and VOS) came together to help children who can use assistance and benefit from the services and items made available to them.

It reminded me just how much I miss emceeing events, such as this one. I met so many great people who are happy to help others, I was able to make new friends, learn and educate myself on different issues in San Antonio, and there is something about being in front of a live audience and on a stage with a mic that I sincerely miss.

I cannot wait to graduate from school now. Once I do that, I know I’ll be able to emcee more events. And I can’t wait to find a job at a television station and get back in front of a camera. I miss the adrenaline rush. And I miss being as active in the community.

Date: July 9, 2011

Time: 10 am to 3 pm

Location: Camargo Park – 5700 Highway 90, San Antonio, TX 78227

At 1:00 the entire city counsel will be in attendance at the event.

VOS in collaboration with the Monte Cristo center will be giving away 1,000 flip flops to at-risk children.

There will be live music, snacks, refreshments, and other activities.

This evening is Fashiontini and for once my schedule is open, so I’m able to attend! The information above goes into detail about the event, but I also have a more personal reason for attending.

The uber fabulous Rita Verreos (HSN host/Survivor) is a personal friend of mine, but also a wonderful woman whom I refer to as my mentor. Tonight she will be participating in a Project Runway style competition (which is nothing new to Rita since her brother Nick Verreos was on Project Runway and has since blessed the fashion industry with his exquisite work) and I’m eager to see the outfit she created! Anytime Rita is involved, I’m more than happy to support her.

If you have time tonight, please join us. The fashion show starts at 6:45 pm. Hope to see you there!

Thank you to the San Antonio Business Journal for their support this month. They featured a photo of myself and Donna Guerra at the last Grand Gusto event, which supported the San Antonio Food Bank. I am happy to support Grand Gusto and will soon be doing public speaking at some of their events.

Hope you can make it out to join us!

Last week I was blessed to have attended another wonderful event with Grammy winner Ruben Ramos aka El Gato Negro. The event was hosted by Latin Fusion TV at the historic Cadillac Bar.
