Doing triple duty as Emcee, Host & Silent Auction Item?! at the Ronald McDonald House Charity 35th Annual Gala Fundraiser

I'm so grateful to God for continuing to give me ways to help others! When I reached out to Ronald McDonald House Charities to have them as guests on a "Community Affairs" Radio talk show that I used to Host on iHeart Radio in Miami  to help them promote this event, at the end of the interview, they surprised me asking me if I would consider being the Emcee for their 35th Annual Gala fundraiser!  ABSOLUTELY yes!  I also volunteered to be a Silent Auction ítem..yes, you read that right! I Volunteered myself and a fellow @CBS @Survivor Reality Show participant as a Silent Auction ítem: 

It was an honor to have been the Emcee for the 35th Annual Ronald Mc Donald House Charities Gala. This year it was held at the Donna E. Shala Student Center Ballroom at the University of Miami.  You can see a little of the beautiful view at the venue in the photo below

 Besides being the Emcee...  I was also doing special coverage of the event for Latin Connection web TV.   Who was the inspiration behind the fouding of the Ronald Mc Donald House Charities? How did they raise the 1st 100K? How many Ronald Mc Donald Houses are there currently nationwide?  The answers from the Founders of Ronald Mc Donald House, Fran and Fred Hill plus special interviews with @Soraya Rivera-Moya, Dir. of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida  and Alexandra, recipient of a liver transplant and former ocupant at a Ronad Mc Donald's House PLUS hear from Fred and Fran Hill are here:http://www.latinconnectionmag.com/latin-connection-tv

It was a night filled with delicious food courtesy of Aromas del Peru and groovin' to the sounds of Lucy Grau and, more importantly, testimonial that inspired donations to exceed the goal of 25K. I thank God for giving me this way to help this wonderful organization raise over 100K!  I visited the Ronald Mc Donald House in Miami.  While I was there, I saw many ways, besides montery donations that you can help!

I also thank the earthly "God" of Beauty Pageants, Mr. @OsmelSousa for turning me into a forever @MissVenezuela when my dear mother and fabulous fashion designer brother @nickverreos, insisted that there was a Beauty Queen inside what I felt, as so so so many girls and women of all ages do, that I was an Ugly Duckling.  Thanks to my training for the Miss Venezuela Pageant, I know have and use the expertise to créate custom Pageant Coaching Training sessions according to your specific needs.

Time to move onto the Stage Presence/Runway walk part of the training!  In just one lesson, as I always guarantee my girls/women, I gave her what I call the "tools" necessary to STAND OUT!  I have been on both ends of the spectrum and on both ends, as a contestant and as a Judge, it's ALL about standing out. My expert eye  can see the unique qualities you may not even you know you have.  My training will gives you the tools you needs custom tailored to give you the edge you need to STAND OUT and WIN!
