Letting The Good Times Roll

"Whatever you are meant to do, move toward it and it will come to you."
Gloria Dunn

The deal’s been struck, folks!

I am one of the featured performers for a wonderful philanthropic organization that’s about to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary on April 2nd.

I made an exciting connection recently with the President of the foundation at a conference celebrating women in leadership roles.  Andrea Bazan.  She is a real dynamo.  Delightful. We connected on so many levels.  I left that conference hoping that our paths would cross again soon.

Then. POW! TCF began planning for its gala and they wanted a singer to kind of set the tone for the evening applauding the generosity of people who have given abundantly to TCF in the past.  Andrea wanted me!!! Yay!!!

My contribution is going to be two songs.  For sure one will be "Get Happy" Think Charlie Chaplin.  The producers for this main event really want to have some fun with this, and so they’re going to tweak the lyrics a little so the tune’s about TCF and what it does in a fun way. Am I game?  You bet I am!

Now, the other song is still to be determined.  My voice coach Lisa Blair and I will come up with something that fits the theme of the gala.

I am excited about the night and because I am a girly girl… I am also thrilled about picking out an outfit for the night.  The colors that will predominantly adorn the Durham Performing Arts Center are silver and aqua.  You’ll never guess:  I have a silver colored cocktail dress and aqua sandals. What the what, you ask? Yes, people, I have the theme colors in my closet already, thank you very much!  I will ask my hair stylist, to make some glamor magic happen, and voila! This chica will be ready to rock.

A big night to celebrate and give thanks– to generous souls and new partnerships.

Here’s to another 25 years for the Triangle Community Foundation.
