Hello Everyone,
Wow, I didn't realize that it had been so long since I had posted. I get busy...You know how it goes. There is SO much to catch you up on:
1. Dancing With The Roses - was AWESOME! It was such a wonderful time. And Fabian Sanchez....wow...he has a lot of..uuummm...energy!
2. We participated in the Regions Charity Classic "Birdies For Charity" and it went very well. We haven't gotten all the proceeds yet, but it looks like we will surpass last year's total by a good margin.
3. Our interns last day is May 29th. Where has this school year gone (How many times did I hear my mother the teacher ask that same question) One of our interns Tyler is graduating on Saturday and we wish her the best of luck she has been great. We took them for their end of year lunch to the Cheesecake Factory last Friday and let me tell you if you have not had the opportunity to take 3 teenagers from school to lunch and back, it is quite an experience.
Well, that's all I have for now!
Talk to you later!

1 week until the BIG event
Hello Everyone,
I hope that you are excited about "dancing with the roses" as I am. I have been thinking about this for a while now and you know, I can not wait until I can see Fabian Sanchez dance. This is going to be great. There are still tickets available at www.alabamaroses.org. Please go check it out.
Our Experiential class went wonderfully. I got to sit in on it and i can tell you it helped me so much. Don Milton who taught the class has an easy way about him that put everyone at ease and helped us all to enjoy that class to the fullest. His website is www.donmilton.net, go look at it, it's amazing what he can do.
We have 1 more class and 1 more event this month and then it's on to April (my FAVORITE month of the year). Our Business Plan class is the 31st and "dances with roses" is the 26th.
I hope to see all of you soon. Have a great day!
Talk to you soon!
