A little over a week ago, I made a fundraising gala! Since 2017, I've chaired -- and done all the graphic design work for -- the Bel Canto Chorus annual gala and auction, and this year was the final gala honoring our music director, Rick Hynson, who's retiring after joining the chorus in 1988 (his wife joined in 1989). We celebrated their tenure and all the other zany things that have happened in those 3+ decades in an event we called "Retrospective." Made many fun signs, centerpieces, and decor as well as 10-page yearbooks for each year (setting out the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 100, Oscar winners, Nielsen ratings champs, etc.). Did lots and lots of ganking pictures off the web for educational/fair use, NATCH. Raised some money, had some laughs, wore my prom dress from 1989.
