Friday, October 5th we rented out the extremely posh Palace Hotel Ball Room to hold our Gala dinner. For $500 a plate, we gave our donors tasty food, great entertainment in the form of Talisman (a Stanford U a cappella group), and mounds of inspiration from our dedicated conservation heroes who are all actively engaged in on the ground "in the trenches" conservation work to help save the habitat and preserve the longevity of large land mammals in 23 different countries!
Me, WCN staff, and the conservationists! (Yes it is the Richard wedding dress again! Give me a break...I am poor and I HATE dress shopping!) Charlie Knowles, my boss is at the far right of the front row. Eve, my co-worker is the first woman in the second row and Stacey and Elaine, my other two co-workers are the 2nd and 4 th women in the back row. The rest of the gang is our conservationists.....all amazing and inspirational and living out adventurous, sometimes dangerous, always altruistic lives in places like Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, Botswana, Argentina, Ethiopia, and Kenya!
