our lives.

The event was spectacular. The décor of

and the food was delicious.
Elegant and
romantic table setting.
Most importantly, Diana Ross was incredible with her brilliant vocals
stronger than ever, and her dynamic presence reaching
all the way to the back corners of the ballroom. She
brought the house down with hit after hit. People
danced, swayed and sang along, not wanting it to end.
This was definitely one of the most memorial charitable
events
of the year!
