Heather Canada Speaks

Another educational opportunity from a very well versed and fellow Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) member Heather Canada of First Coast Weddings and Events had a program on tools to create a system for your business. The event was hosted by Michelle Williams at the Rosen Centre Hotel . As always, Heather was a terrific speaker & with a wonderful program. After her program, we had a networking event, along with a delicious lunch – which could be misconstrued for dinner! We then enjoyed a performance of Statues De La Vie (“Living Statues”) from Key Artist Group. To “top it off” was amazingly delicious, made in-front of you ice cream from Pure Magic Ice Cream. My fave was Mint Chocolate chip – always a winner in my book. Unreal. Of course, there is always the peanut butter or fudge or strawberry, the list goes on! Thanks also to Unique Linens for the wonderful linens, chair covers & chair ties. Gorgeous. And what table is not complete without pretty menu cards from Rose at The Invitation Lounge.

Enjoy the Angle!

Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk Kick Off Party

This is my 15th year (WOW! I can’t believe it) that I am involved with the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk. I am proud to be on the Memory Walk Committee (probably about my 6th year or so, by now). This year, it is held at Lake Eola on October 3. It is the annual “big event” here in Orlando, as there are hundreds throughout the country.

In an effort to help keep the walkers energized, we did our annual “Kick Off” party for the walkers. It was held at the beautifully and recently remodeled “Ember” (formally known as “Kate O’Brien’s). Ember helped out greatly with “beverage” & appetizer specials.

We raised more money towards our total goal and of course, awareness towards the disease. As we are getting close to walk day, more and more things will be happening. We all can’t wait until October 3!

Here is a little slide show of some of the images that we captured at the event. Set your speakers accordingly and enjoy! Click this LINK.
