Raise a glass for the American Red Cross

WECT- WSFX in the house! Claire Hosmann, Frances Weller (emcee), me and Nikki Bussey

I love the American Red Cross Gala.  It was the very first event I attended after I moved to Wilmington in 2010.  Lots of good people, great fun and a wonderful cause.

The American Red Cross does such amazing things for the community and beyond.  In Missouri, it seemed as if I'd work with the Red Cross every spring and summer during tornado season.  But, more often, you'll find workers and volunteers helping with fires, flooding and connecting military families all across the country.

My husband and I working during a tornado disaster in Missouri back in 2007. The Red Cross does amazing things!

I love going to events that make a difference.  Madonna Nash sang us two beautiful songs!  Also, Frances Weller did an impressive job softening up and yet commanding the crowd--just ask Jonathan Weiss from The City Club how much he'd pay for a glass of wine!  The live auction is always fun to watch.
