Curl Gala held June 6th was a success!

I am not very computer savvy and it has taken me a while to figure out how to make a new post. I'm glad I figured it out...I have so much I want to share!
First, I had my first Curl Gala here in Virginia. My boss Nordine was nice enough to let me have it at his salon. I have wonderful curly friends in the industry that sent nice products that made up the gift packages and raffle prizes. Thanks to Naturallycurly.com and Mop Top hair products!
Thanks to all those who attended, I think it was a great success and I look forward to doing it again! I was so fortunate to have this whole event documented by Jenny Schomaker the photographer for my book Strictly Curls. It was fun to work with her again she was a great help and the pictures turned out beautifully (as always)! I am happy to as that we also were able to raise $110 for Locks of Love! Thanks everyone for coming and helping to make this event so memorable! Enjoy the pictures!

I would be delight if you help me.
