Make A Wish Black and White GALA

In February, the Quad Cities Chapter of the Make A Wish Foundation had their big fundraiser dinner at the Waterfront Convention Center. It was a beautiful formal affair -- a Black and White GALA of mega proportion...

Last year, I wrote about Dylan's fight with cancer. THE VERY BEST NEWS -- Here he is -- RECOVERED -- with his family at the Gala. This handsome young man was a guest of honor at this year's Make A Wish event. Last year after his surgery, chemo, and treatments -- his Make A Wish was a trip to Hawaii.
My dearest Carrie, wonderful young Mom to Dylan and Elizabeth...Lucky husband, Steve, in the back.
I sat at the same table with Dylan's two Grandma's.  My cousin Kim, and Steve's Mom, Peg.
The venue was beautiful -- and the place was packed.
Even the appetizer table was FANCY
But the tables in the ballroom were SPECTACULAR...
Check out the chairs...
Carrie and Kim....
My fancy ring!!
Dylan's family, at the table of honor...
The room was jam-packed...and, of course, the money all went to this very good cause. But really big money that night got made at the silent auction. And THAT WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE...
