Kristin, Speak!

Wow, has it been a week already?  The Autism Awareness Musical Benefit was great!  My family and I worked very hard to ensure that it was a success.  While we didn’t raise a substantial amount of money, we did raise something.  And we had a fun celebration in the process.  The opening portion of the event featured children and family games/activities.  We also held our 1st raffle of the evening and had some lovely gifts for the kids.  Many gifts were donated by the Inland Empire Autism Society, which was so very kind of them.

We then kicked off our evening with a dance demo featuring my sister Miranda and friends.  This was followed by an acoustic performance by my mother and her friend who lulled the crowd with their sweet covers and originals.

Next up was Hunter.  Hunter is the “family band” starring my mother, stepfather, aunt, uncle and family friend.  They had a fun set of songs we all know and love.  Next up was Miranda (my sis) who gave us a few beautiful covers and really showed off her talent.

We then welcomed Swamphouse to the stage.  They wowed the crowd with their unique sounds.  Our 2nd raffle of the evening soon followed.  We gave out some fantastic prizes!  After, Mirror Mirror, featuring my sister Lauren on lead vocals, performed.  They were awesome as usual!

Closing the evening festivities, was a performance by Night Train, starring my stepdad on drums.  We all had a great time and danced the night away.  Can’t wait to see what we can pull off next year!
