A Pink Success!

The Pink Party was last night, and it was a total success. After weeks of meeting and planning, and this past week stressing out - it went off without a hitch. The facilities looked marvelous, the food and drinks were delicious. We honored Mayor Bob for the 20 years of support he's given the LGBT community and gave the floor to the candidates, and they were spot on. I don't have the exact breakdown between the two honorees, but we raised $13,000.00.

I met a lot of interesting campaign insiders from campaigns and candidates who were not being honored last night, not because we were against them - but because it was a party geared towards the mayoral race. I can say this, there is a ground swell of interest amongst candidates, local and statewide to have a pink party for them. (If any of you are reading this visit the Contact page of the Vote Pink! website and e-mail us) I can say, and I hope I'm not saying it prematurely, that there will be at least one more pink party this year -- so stay tuned.

But for now, with the party behind me, I can reorient my life and focus on other projects, including writing this blog more often -- I promise! That and reading. But before I do all that, I'm headed to Cheraw for a nice quiet break.

(Photos will be forthcoming!)

SVILUPPO: I may be too exhausted from the Pink Party to dish the mad details, but local favourite The Shop Tart wasn't. Check her post for deets and pics. And yes, I wore that pink bow tie and I'm fine with being a cliche.
