Relay for Life women's wellness seminar

The team Gynomites relay for Life had our first major fundraiser.  Our women's wellness workshop was a big success.  We had 8 speakers on various female topics including skin care, nutrition, yoga, and menopause.  We raised $450 for our team.  Hazleton Relay will be held at the Hazleton High School track May 31.  Go Team Gynomites.

2013 YWCA PEARL Dinner

I was able to join a table full of past PEARL award recipients for this wonderful event.  I was the keynote speaker in 2008 and PEARL winner in 2012.  I loved returning and watching my friend State Representative Tarah Toohil receive her much deserved PEARL award from the YWCA.  This award celebrates the accomplishments of todays successful business women.

2013 Pennsylvania International Orientation

2013 Mrs. International orientation.  I am thrilled to be competing with so many accomplished women.  I loved seeing Kim our reigning Mrs International again.  I have been following her recipes in our local paper where her column is published.  I was also happy to take Kaitlyn Marhelko and newbie Alexa Martino out for the orientation experience.  I love mentoring new young ladies into the world of Pageantry.

Taste of Theater Feb 23, 2013

Loved sharing the evening with the second annual Taste of Theater chairwoman Gail Martino.  We raised $8,000 for the Pennsylvania Theater of the Performing Arts.  I loved being on this fun committee and what a fantastic event.  The evening was topped off with a fantastic young Elvis impersonator.  I hope this event continues to be a highlight in our community theater season.

Cancer Society Telethon

 

Another successful Telethon.  $100,000 raised for American Cancer Society.  I am so proud to be invited to speak on the importance of womens cancer issues and screening each year.  I also love being proud momma watching my daughters perform on TV.

Season of Hope Gala Auction 2012

Running the auction with our auctioneer golf pro Clark Lewis was exhilarating.  The money we raised with this event helped us surpass our $50,000 goal for the night.  I can only imagine all the patients and families we will help with the money raised. This American Cancer Society event was a huge success.
