Last weekend I attended a charity event, Wine Women and Shoes, in Orlando at the Rosen Shingle Creek. This was something new for me, but I was excited about spending the day with a good friend and supporting a very important cause. The Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida was the beneficiary of the event. Each ticket ($75) provided all of the food you see in this photo to a family in need. Wow, that's amazing!The local media has done a great job shining a light on a huge problem in Central Florida. Many of the children in our community are starving. For most of them, the last meal they receive before going back to school on Monday is Friday's school lunch. Through donations, the Second Harvest Food Bank is able to feed these families over the weekend by distributing backpacks of food to the children at school.
I wanted to do a little more to help, so I decided to donate a Rapunzel dress from my Addy&Tabby Everyday Princess collection to the silent auction. I am very fortunate to be able to pursue something I love so much with the support of my family and dear friends. I can't think of a better way to share my blessings than to help families in need. To my wonderful clients: you deserve many thanks as well. It is your support of my business that allows me to do this.
