One! International 10th Anniversary Gala
I must first apologize for being such a tardy blogger.
The Gala took all extra time for the month of January.I still don’t have time to write – but – I thought I would share with you some of the wonderful pictures from the Gala.
Enjoy.

Honour the Past Live in the Present Create the Future.
This was the theme for the evening on the actual date of the 10 year Anniversary of One! International – January 29, 2011. We honoured the past accomplishments of One!. We had a wonderful evening in the present. We began to create the future with our new program “Buy a Brick, Build the Future”.

George presented her with the flowers. The presentation from her dad and the greetings from India were surprises. You can tell by the grin on her face, she was very pleased and happy.
