Nightlife/Entertainment

I went to the Laugh In gala last year at Anthology. It was my first time going to any of their charity events. It was so much fun and we had a great time. It was wonderful knowing that with as much as we enjoyed ourselves, it all was for a great cause.

Spectacular event. Was so much fun. The evening as certainly one of top quality entertainment and inspiration. To see powerhouse local celebs & good friends such as Danitza Villanueva, Yolanda S. Walther-Meade and Lee Ann Kim jump into action to raise funds AND awareness for the programs and work done by the Malashock organization was heart-warming. All the dancers were great and the judges were perfect! Monique Marvez with her funny gal, tv personality Mary Murphy kept the laughter rolling. Thank you Malashock for creating a great set of memories.

Nice JOB here

FELICIDADES!!! It is a pleasure to have worked so closely with you both throughout the years on such an important mission that affects not only our immediate area but the entire region as a whole. You have been beacons of inspiration for showing the impact that we can have on our environment and communities. You set the bar high for the rest of us, pushing us upward toward great achievement.

Thank you for the dedication you have had for not only the SDNHM but throughout the region in your many causes on both sides of the border. It is an honor to Chair this event, honoring your legacy.

Thanks to all who attended the Dos Aguilas, Yolanda Selene and I were overwhelmed by the comments and good wishes for us, specially to enfasize the excellent work that the San Diego Natural History Museum does for the region…the natural habitat doesn’t recognize borders.

I love your ability to tell it like you hear it in your own head Tami because we have all been involved in scenarios of the same sort that truly just make our skin crawl. Thanks for the reminder that we perception is reality and that especially when working within the realm of the social good… accountability is at the HEIGHT of a charity’s mission for the community recipients AND the donors.

We had a very interesting comment back this morning and I thank the visitor for their response. It is quite an emotional response so I can only assume that the responder who refuses to be known is probably involved. Tami and I have decided it would NOT be in the best interest to name this person because the possibility that the name the organization might be implied. The group is made up of much more substance than perhaps this one scenario and has higher goals to think about. The organization is a fledgling chapter of a networking awareness group, not an event production company. Please be assured that the organization in no way is responsible for the lack of tact that has been displayed. If there was a true concern for a non-profit organization out there which was misrepresenting itself to donors in the name of social good, rest assured we would then find it pertinent to name the organization.

*To the person who wrote the response: I am sorry this blog post was such an agitation in your day. The post does admit blame intentionally in the quote.The real barrier here for many organizations is a choice to communicate freely so that progress is made for the true goal. The word sabotage is strong. Use it wisely. The organization is by no means hurt by our restraint in naming it. We have gone to great lengths to NOT taint this very helpful, active international group. As with many situations, a brief talk between adults probably would have cleared many things up in the early stages. Good Luck to you.

I just CAN’T help it. I love this place. The Pearl has got just such a cool vibe without feeling pretentious. The wait staff is casual but professional and the design just invites you to lounge around with a cocktail a la ‘Mad Men’.

Food is fab and is the summertime movie and a swim. Check it out.

Thank you to our friends at The Giving Scene for your continued support and coverage at our 5th annual gala, Just Like My Child Foundation.
