Last Saturday, after the Hands and Voices social (and a few hours of practice) I had the honor of attending a masquerade ball for the Metro Omaha Women's Business Center. The business center is all about empowering women to be financially stable by providing education and assistance to women in our community.
The ball was held to raise money and honor a woman with a grant to use toward starting a small business. This is such an amazing opportunity for the women of Nebraska. I even learned that the first woman who was awarded a grant nearly
tripled the investment made by the organization!
It really was an honor to attend such a wonderful event and I sincerely enjoyed greeting guests as they came off the "runway" and directing them toward the silent auction!
One of the most fun parts of the night had to be hanging out with the 2012 Mrs. Nebraska, Kandis Friedenbach. I haven't had much exposure to the Mrs. Nebraska pageant and it was great learning about it and getting to know Kandis! I want to wish her the best of luck as she competes for the title of Mrs. America in August!
