Happy Last Day of December!!

I'm so glad I could stop by the Friends of the Roxbury Branch Library - BPL to check out their annual ice sculptures. Today was an unseasonably warm December 31 and the sculptures were losing their battle with the weather and sun. Fortunately, I could take my annual photo with the African mask, inspired by an 18th-century Nigerian mask from the Yoruba people, and the dolphin sculptures.

My client, TACC / The American City Coalition provided the community with an opportunity to participate in the First Night festivities.

Food, hot drinks, and a 360-photo booth were provided by TACC and its sponsors, including Roxbury Main Streets and Boston Harbor Now. A free trolley, transported families from the Roxbury Branch Library to the waterfront to view additional ice sculptures, along with free admission to the New England Aquarium.

Buddy the Elf says the best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.

Christmas cheer was alive and well on Saturday at Upham's Corner Main Street’s tree lighting event. There was a small and mighty crowd of Christmas well-wishers and holiday mice. The Boston Latin Academy Choir and ballet dancers from the José Mateo Ballet Theatre brought the cheer. Mr. and Mrs. Clause arrived by troller to help light up the Christmas Tree.

It was a cold Saturday evening in Dorchester, but the warm Christmas spirit flowed throughout the crowd.

Not only is a graphic design vendor, but we also support our clients.

Day Two of Networking: Morning

Yesterday, Roxbury Main Streets hosted their annual Women’s Breakfast with the phenomenal speaker Collete Phillips, Founder, President, and CEO of Get Konnected!

You might recall was in the house at Get Konnected’s Taste of Ethnic Boston a few months ago savoring all of the delicious offerings. (see my previous post).

Yesterday’s early morning workshop added another layer to Center for Women & Enterprise’s Women of Color Summit on Wednesday. It was great catching up with clients, colleagues, a potential new client, and meeting new friends.

Check out my signed copy of Collete’s new book, The Includers.

And finally, thanks to local vendors, Frugal Bookstore Inc., Fire Code Design, and Dudley Cafe

If you weren’t there, you certainly missed out. See you next year!
