The Denim and Diamonds charity/fundraiser event put on by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is one that is right up my alley. My days of wearing that little black dress and stilettos are long gone. It's like a circus clown on stilts; entertaining to watch but the outcome could be disastrous.
Now denim I can do! Anyone who knows me will agree that I am totally obsessed with pink, so accented with pink diamonds would be perfect! I have hundreds of carats of genuine fake diamonds, and then of course I would have to pull out the pink pearls and we know those are "real"(or are they?). I'm just curious where they come from; all I can picture are these tiny little oysters swimming around in pink tutus... okay maybe that's a stretch.
Real or faux, to each his own, at the end of the day the only thing that really mattered was seeing all of the amazing people in this community who came out in support of this great cause.
Have a great day!

The Bike-to-the-Bay is one event that seems to draw a lot of attention, but it's also great to see all of the support from the community in many other ways. Peggy and Denny Spencer co-chaired a golf outing at Highland Meadows Golf Club as one more way to fund raise as well as raise awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. They even got me to wear orange for the day!
The turnout was amazing, with over 90 golfers all in support of this great cause; it seemed like everyone knew someone who's life has been touched by MS.
Carla Brady from the local chapter of the national MS Society was a guest speaker at the event educating the crowd on what exactly MS is and how it effects over 3,500 people in this community alone. Peggy Spencer has also been living with MS for over ten years as well.

This event raised almost 3200 dollars which was donated to the "Denim and Diamonds" Fundraiser put on by the local National MS Society. Little by little we'll win this battle!!
Have a great weekend!
