ROYAL AFFAIR 2011

First off, let me say that I am extremely proud of myself for designing our logo this year.  With an awesome tutorial from Gary Simon, I was able to create this masterpiece..j/k...it does look pretty good though.

Anyways, this is Sapphire Ink Public Relations' 3rd Annual Royal Affair and I am super excited with the  tremendous support we are receiving from the beauty and fashion industry. Although we had our share of mishaps and set backs, I think this year may be one of the best. We are honored to work with our fabulous stylist, Lakeisha Massey, again.  She does such amazing work and is truly dedicated to the cause and making each girl feel special.  

Teaming up with the She Is Me Program this year was such a wonderful opportunity because the founder, Mrs. Bessie Winn-Afeku, has been such an inspiration and supporter of the event since day one.  From providing feedback to assisting with recruiting volunteers, she is truly a gem.

As we get closer to the event, anxiety builds, especially since there is still quite a few thing we have to get done. During the next three weeks, I have to search for:

* food sponsors (to feed on the day of the event and at the reveal party)
* transportation sponsors (to transport the girls to the event)
* event rental sponsor (furnish the studio rental)
* additional professional volunteers (last year a few MUAs and Hairstylist didn't show up)
* follow up with the media
* collect additional clothing (to fill up the free boutique)

Can I do it?  YES!  Each day I will update my journey!
