Grand TD Bank Opening

Adding festivity to a Grand Opening has been the mantra of TD Bank.  For the last ten years we have added that spark of excitement to openings in Connecticut, Pensylavania, New Jersey , New York and Queens.  This past week-end we sent a troop of performers to Washington DC to celebrate the openings in three locations. Stiltwalkers, shoe shiners, cigar rollers, sign spinners, caricaturists, and balloon artists presented their skills to the passerbys as three new locations inaugurated their openings.

Is it a Boy or a Girl?

Is it a boy? Is it a girl? This is a highly anticipated answer by the parents and the entire family and friends, but when you are in the doctor's office, it doesn't seem as ceremonious as it was when my daughter and son-in-law first found out about their expected baby girl.

A few weeks ago I heard from my manicurist DiDi the most creative way of presenting this information to the parents to be. Her son asked the technician to not tell them the answer in the office.  He gave the technician the name of a baker to call to order a cake with  the inside layers of the cake to be either pink or blue depending on the sex of the baby.

The big event just happened this past weekend and we are thrilled to share it with you! Read on to find out the answer!

Friends and family were invited to this big event, all restlessly awaiting  the moment when the question mark  cake was cut!  The family sat down for dinner before indulging in the surprise cake. Old wives tales and guesses about the sex of the baby were exchanged. "The mother looks radiantly beautiful so it must be a boy" said a family member referring to the Romanian Tale that says that girls take away the mother's beauty. After an hour or so of guessing, the cake was brought into the room. The family gathered around the table all just as excited as the parents-to-be.

You can see in this photo of the parents-to-be how excited they were!

The whole family was gathered around and just as excited as the parents.

And the baby is....

a boy!

What a fun way to share the news and a great excuse to have a party! A fun beginning to parenthood.

Celebrating Women Around the World

On Tuesday, March 8^th, I joined thousands of women to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of International Women’s Day by walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. 

This event was organized by Women for Women International and Google, Take a look at their Google Map to see all the different Bridges all over the world that were walked!

Zainab Salbi, the founder and CEO of Women for Women International, was inspirational  reminding us that women were meeting on more than 300 bridges in over 50 countries around the world!
 

Each participant was given a beautiful tie dyed piece of fabric to wave in the air as we made our way towards City Hall Square.  The enthusiasm and spirit were infectious, all with one single hope- to have a world of peace and equality for women .

 

Elizabeth Jordan captured the spirit of the day with some amazing photos.  She has an impressive portfolio of images from places all over the world including Burma, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Ghana.

Women for Women International is a leader in educating and empowering women in war torn countries. Its   fantastic sponsorship program helps women rebuild their lives, earn an income, take care their families, and become a voice in their community. The program encourages sponsors to correspond with their “sisters.”  It's a rewarding experience in itself, I recomend anyone to join.

I am helping Women for Women International to organize a luncheon on May 18^th,  which will feature a  stimulating program on The Future of Afghanistan. So if you missed the walk, come join us on May 18^th.  Save the Date!
