Saturday evening was the Black Tie Ball at the Hilton Anatole, benefiting the the Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Texas. There was an auction of wonderful donations which even included tickets to the Presidential Inauguration next year, and a party with Elton John. All the proceeds will go toward taking children off of the BBBS waiting list and matching them with a mentor for one year. I had the opportunity to greet the guest as they entered the hotel and direct them to the event, surprisingly there were 4 different black tie events in the same night! I got the chance to talk and mingle and meet several other individuals with some of the same aspirations as myself, to work within the community and provide positive outlets for our youth. There was an artist doing sketches of the guests and I even got my portrait drawn. During the night there were several performances by "littles" which ranged from a trumpet performance, dancing, and an opera performance accompanied with a piano, which was AMAZING and got a standing ovation. This group of children was so talented and an inspiration, in that they can overcome their situations and find their own niche in life. I was honored to be able to help raise money for such a worthy cause.
