Hello again 'BOSers! This is Bex and last night I was lucky enough to attend the Lyrics for Life Gala held at the Avalon with one of my best friends since middle school, Carolynn. It was definitely an evening to remember. Our very own Dana Marshall hosted the event. Guests were dressed to impress and enjoyed fine dining while listening to live music from French Lick, the Alternate Routes, Pat McGee and Sister Hazel. They all played acoustic sets to an audience filled with really amazing people who all helped raise money for Lyrics for Life. Many guests were a part of the Operation Swan Dive which occurred both Saturday and Sunday. One woman did her 100th jump on Sunday with one of the members from Sister Hazel! A video of the jump was played on stage along with clips of families at Camp Sunshine. I don't think there could have been a dry eye in the entire house. However, as all true rockers do, Sister Hazel later picked up the pace and guests were moving tables in order to create a mini dance floor. A silent auction was also held to raise money for cancer research and a second live auction was held to receive tickets to a Boston Celtics game, fly first class with the team and stay at an amazing hotel. All in all, it was a truly amazing event which helped raise so much money for Lyrics for Life. I felt so privileged to be a part of this event and would like to thank all of those who took part in the event or helped raise money.

Hugs & Peace, Bex
