"The Eve Rising 2010 Festival is an all day, all women music festival whose proceeds will benefit Emmaus House and the Lawrence YWCA. Our mission is to bring women in art and enterprise together for a day of music, peace and camaraderie to assist our fellow women and their families. Eve Rising operates from a belief that when one woman is liberated, she affects the whole; and a certainty that when we selflessly strive to help others reach their goals, we create the foundation for our own success."
All of the performers at Eve Rising had such great talent! There were so many female musicians that were performing, and I loved being able to listen to their songs. I admire these women and everyone who was involved in Eve Rising because of their hard work and dedication for helping other women! I loved how the Eve Rising committee chose a music festival as their fundraiser because I'm a singer -- I think music is so empowering, especially for women!
Eve Rising was organized by Elle Gallo, a former Miss Massachusetts! Thank you Elle for inviting me to be a part of your event. :)
At Eve Rising, I had the opportunity to speak onstage about MAOT and my platform, The Kindness Campaign (www.thekindnesscampaign-ma.org).
Speaking onstage :)
I spent the day with my mom & stepdad, Charlie, as well as my wonderful "Big Sis" Loren, and Buffy, the ED of Miss MA! It was great to see them. :)
Loren and I!
We walked around and looked at all the vendors' stands. Our favorite was Sophia Barone Jewelry Designer. I met Sophia a few years back -- she is related to a close family friend. She was so nice and gave Loren and I both a beautiful new pair of earrings. Thank you again, Sophia!
Loren, Sophia, and I :)
Another fun part of the day was talking to kids. Anyone who knows me well knows that I absolutely LOVE kids! I want to go to college for Public Relations and work for a non-profit organization involving children (like the Boys and Girls Club or Children's Miracle Network!) My favorite part of my year as MMOT so far has been interacting with children.
These little girls were so cute!
With my new friend, Frank
I had a blast at Eve Rising! I'm so happy to have been a part of this event as it raised money for the YWCA and Emmaus House. :)
Love,
