Roxie's Dare2B: Official Count Down to Peru!!

I cannot believe it's almost time for my departure to the Puericultorio Pérez Araníbar orphanage in Peru. I must admit that although I'm ecstatic about the initiative I'm equally nervous. I’ve tried to prepare myself emotionally for this situation but remain unsure of how much success I’ve had. :/

Prior to kicking off my international volunteer effort I must take the opportunity to once again thank the amazing sponsors, talent and guests of Roxie’s ’09 Masquerade Ball & Fundraiser that helped prove the power of daring oneself to dream and “believing and acting as if it were impossible to fail.” – Charles F. Kettering, American Engineer. Thanks to each of you for getting me one step closer to accomplishing my goal.

Note to Sponsors:

Thank you so much for your contribution/packages and support. I couldn't have done it without you.

“Success is not measured by what you get out of life, but by what you give back. ” ~ Jerry Moran.

Special thanks to Melissa from Beach Bum Tanning in Fresh Meadows and Jill from Invicta Watches NY region for the amazing goodies you packaged for each of my guests.

Note to Talent

No words could express my gratitude to each of you for contributing your time and talent to entertain guests of the gala. Each of you were absolutely stellar. May you all continue to be blessed with much deserved success.

Elkin(Harken Band), your dedication of “Mama” to my mom and the special song you wrote specifically for the event were amazing and much appreciated. I cannot thank you enough.

Note to Guests

It’s rare the opportunity one gets to have so many wonderful and FUN individuals under one roof that just gel. Thanks so much for making it such an incredible night. It was so hard choosing the best dressed when everyone was so spectacularly elegant.

Other Special Notes

Steven (writer) and Wil (graphic designer), what can I say? Thanks to each of you for putting all my concepts and words together so eloquently.
