Recap: Our fabulous celebration

The Children's Zone featuring the Amazing BudderBall the Clown
October 22nd was the day that we launched our non ~ profit and it was truly special. I would like to thank all of the families that attended. I would like to thank all of the vendors that showed up with such beautiful presentations of food and wine, and I would like to thank Denise Looney for offering her beautiful venue, Sova Gardens, as the backdrop for this momentous occasion.

For those of you who were able to attend, I’m glad that you got to experience the symbolic ribbon cutting with Onita from the Petaluma Chamber. You also got hear from a few families that were touched by the Fabulous Women.

Listening to Brian Woznak talk about his battle with cancer and his challenge to manage his house payments during critical periods of chemo treatments was heart wrenching. It felt so good to know that The Fabulous Women supported his family during a difficult time. Today he is cancer free.

The crowd felt great emotion when we listened to Jeff Murray talk about their family’s loss of their two year old, Calli. We were able to hear about their tragedy and triumph to stop “Distracted Driving.”. Jeff was able to thank the crowd for their assistance when hospital bills were over-whelming and their family was trying to recover from their emotional loss and Ling’s injuries.

There were many pictures that were taken at the event. I appreciate that Joan Bunn represented the Argus / Petaluma 360 with an array of shots that capture the spirit of the day. Please click this link to view those photos.
Special thanks to Susan Bales for her amazing gift to the group!
