Tonight Alan and I attended the Knoxville Area Urban League Awards Gala. Since U.S. Cellular is a corporate sponsor- I was asked to go, so by default- Alan came too (which he was excited about but also reminded me that we had to get home in time to watch the end of the baseball game... the Cardinals are currently in the World Series! We did end up having a really great time.
some of the U.S. Cellular associates at the Gala
Katie was there too representing the Knoxville Leadership Foundation
Tom Catani, U.S. Cellular's East Regional VP was recognized as a board member of the KAUL
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Helen and Ellen: twin sisters who founded The Love Kitchen which is a food pantry ministry in Knoxville. They were recognized on Oprah several years ago for the amazing work they have done in our community. They were the only award recipients to get a standing elevation...it was probably the most touching moment of the evening.
The O Jays were the entertainment for the evening and they were great!
Such a fun night with a fantastic turn out!
AND... the Cardinals won their game tonight in 11th inning so we are going on to Game 7 tomorrow!!! WooHoo!!!
