All I can say is wow! Today was such a fun event. I was invited to help put together 20,000 care packages to send to our troops overseas. I was joined by many Northrop Grumman volunteers, and celebrities such as Nancy Sinatra, Gary Sinise, and Erik Estrada. Nancy Sinatra kicked off the afternoon event by singing her famous hit, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" which she dedicated to the troops. We spent hours in assembly lines making sure we hit our goal of 20,000 care packages. Thank you so much to Northrop Grumman and the USO for asking me to help out with Operation USO Care Package. It was truly inspirational to take part in something that can bring a smile to the faces of the men and women who defend our country.

Learn and Live Luncheon





Today was the Learn and Live Luncheon for the American Heart Association. This wonderful lunch was held at the Wilshire Grand, which is a gorgeous hotel downtown Los Angeles. The Learn and Live Luncheon is an opportunity to show potential volunteers and donors what the AHA is all about and the amazing work they do in life saving research and awareness. It's a great chance for anyone who is interested in becoming involved with the AHA to see a mini-presentation on their charitable works! I was asked to attend as a table hostess and heart survivor. I really enjoyed hearing about new developments in research, and seeing so many people who were willing to give of their time. Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of this luncheon!
