A true hero knows when to make life altering decisions, when to strategically change the course and always knows when to take care of his own. On Tuesday, May 4th, LCDR Dr. Andy Baldwin of the U.S. Navy, and known to some from tv show “The Bachelor”, will host the second annual Martinis and Makeovers. Andy’s nonprofit, Got Your Back Network, focuses on the family members that have lost a soldier in today’s military exercises. The Martinis and Makeovers event will pamper the widows of fallen servicemen in need of a night out and a little social activity! The event will run at the Ritz-Carlton Degrees Bar and a suggested $20 donation to assist with GYBN (Got Your Back Network) programs is appreciated.

 

In spirit of the military theme, keep your ears on pause for the upcoming GI Film Festival May 11 to May 16, 2010!

The Generation O Advisory Council hosts “A Late Night Affair” for a night of Opera. The May 6th evening performance will be The Marriage of Figaro by the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artists starting promptly at 7:30 pm! Enjoy a cast party with DJ Sharky, signature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Of course, wear your cocktail attire and open your mind to exciting Opera and artists.

 

Visit the Washington National Opera website for tickets and information on The Marriage of Figaro.

 

From Washington National Opera:

The Figaro story continues in what is often considered Mozart's most perfect opera.  After his marriage to Rosina, now the Countess Almaviva, the Count's palace is filled with a tangled web of love affairs.  The pageboy Cherubino courts the Countess while the Count pursues the maidservant Susanna who is betrothed to the wily Figaro.

 

What is Generation O, or Gen O?

Its a program for young professionals between 18 – 35 to experience Opera and embrace it as an art. Gen O members receive special ticket pricing for events and have a chance to attend lectures and social events. Join Gen O for “A Late Night Affair” and introduce yourself to the Opera talent in DC.

 

Our DC news ladies are on mark to make an impact on breast cancer! Last year was the first NewsBabes bash supported by ten of our female news anchors across four news networks. They were not concerned with which channel has the best ratings, who anchors the five o’clock with style nor were they concerned with where WUSA 9’s Angie Goff or Fox 5’s Shawn Yancy gets that fabulous on air jewelry. Instead, the DC NewsBabes came together to support Susan G. Komen campaign to make an impact on breast cancer, that unfortunate disease that affects women and men whether a front line news anchor, a public figure, a school teacher, a waste management worker, a farmer or a public service volunteer. Breast cancer is very real and upfront in our lives. DC NewsBabes are looking for your support to manage the awareness  and support them in the upcoming Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

 

 

On Monday May 10th, join the NewsBabes at the Ritz-Carleton Georgetown from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. Honored guests include Ambassador Nancy Brinker (Founder & CEO of Susan G. Komen) and DC Mayor Fenty’s wife, Michelle Fenty (President, Capital Breast Care Center Advisory Council). A suggested donation of $20 is appreciated or you can register for the Race For The Cure for $35. Be certain to wear your pink attire in recognition of breast cancer awareness and bring your friends, family and coworkers to participate in the night. Click the invite to reserve your advanced tickets now!
