Have a FABULOUSLY SASSY weekend!

The LGBT Leadership Council was nice enough to send a FABULOUS thank you note and photo of President Obama and I. Check it out below!

From July 16-19, I will be turning The Big Easy into The Big Sassy when I, along with famed event planner and designer Richard Carbotti, take the city over! Although this will be one exciting weekend, it is more about work than play. It’ll be completely worth it, however, since the event is being thrown by my fabulous friends over at Operation Outreach.

For the event, we will be having a guided tour of the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, provide donations and home improvements to over 40 homeowners affected by the hurricane and last but not least, throw two huge surprise parties and home makeovers for two very deserving victims.

Be sure to check back to see how it goes as I’ll be sure to update ya’ll!!

I am SO excited to be speaking at the Re-Invent Your Event with High Style and Low Stress at The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch on Thursday, July 28th!

Along with FABULOUS summer cocktails and unique cuisine from Spago Executive Chef, Mark Ferguson, I will be providing new ideas on how to make your next non-profit event the SASSIEST! And of course, I’ll keep you all in the loop!! Check back after the event to see how it goes!
