ATTENDING DAY ON THE TERRACE!
Typically, you see me in the studio, counting down “3, 2, 1” before the cameras roll! But this weekend, I traded my usual role as a national, television talk show host for that of a model, sashaying down the runway with my Service Club of Chicago sisters at Day on The Terrace this past Monday!
I’m overwhelmed with joy and love for all the hard work my friends put into this fashionable night! Scoring the venue, The Peninsula Chicago, gave the show a city backdrop that looked unreal, where myself and guests enjoyed lovely food, drinks, and conversations. The event was completely sold out, which made me so privileged to be amongst those who care so much about our contributing our part, in bettering the community and our city!
My dress, which I had the honor to wear on the runway, was a piece that I’ll never forget modeling! The catwalk I must say is no easy feat, but it’s worth it for all the fundraising Service Club of Chicago does for its local, partnered organizations.
Off the runway, I got to meet some lovely people who also made their appearance at the event! A group of Marines I bumped into was a conversation that sparked such inspiration and hope! And of course, my television personality friends that make Chicago television its best, including Courtney Hall from NBC Chicago Today, Dawn Housbrouck from FOX Chicago, and Chicago media personality and journalist, Anna Dalvantes. I always smile thinking about how lovely, hardworking, and incredible these ladies are beyond their roles!
Last year’s event was spectacular, but this year took it to new heights. The energy, the support, and the contributions were more impactful than ever. The Service Club Together, it makes me want to ask you the questions, how can you leverage the table you are at to make change?
