The beautiful city of Charlotte
This is just a quick Hello from CANN…Sunday was a day of traveling, mixed with bit of frustration! One flight cancelled and a too long wait in the airport.
BUT…will I do it again? You bet…The National Inclusion Project Friendship Championship Gala was amazing!! There was not a moment that was not filled with fun, friendship and appreciation!
I have so much to say, but it is after midnight so I am sorry that it will have to be postponed until tomorrow. The following are a few pictures from the event.

Everyone was so glad to see Jerome at week-end activities. He looked fabulous and still has his great sense of humor!!
All for now…..More tomorrow!!
