Ring my bell...
Saturday December 22nd I was honored to be a celebrity bell ringer with the Salvation Army for their Red Kettle campaign. I had a great time "ringing my bell" for charity and was lucky enough to be paired up with a veteran ringer who played a trombone (or trombone type instrument). People loved it and we made a lot of money for a great cause. I look forward to helping out again next year.

Colonial Hills Elementary School
December 20th I went back to school at Colonial Hills Elementary School in Worthington. I had a great time reading to the students and answering all of their questions. They had a lot of them! I was also so impressed by how polite and advanced the kids were. They even speak Mandarin! I was still struggling to grasp English at their age. A special thanks to Jill Carter (my second mom and their Mandarin/reading teacher) for asking me to stop by, also a big thanks to the students for being so fun and enthusiastic. I will see you all again soon:)
What a way to start my reign
I had an absolute blast at the 22nd Annual Holiday Benefit held at the Funny Bone Easton on December 18th. What a way to kick off a year, I laughed my keester off!
The event is a special engagement that benefits a different charity each year. This year’s event was hosted by local radio personality and comedian Dino Tripodis (hilarious) and benefited the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio. Some of the comedians included Jeff Jena, Dennis Piper, Mike Veneman, Jason Ianarino, Rob Haney, Rick Tempesta, Steve Caminiti, Josh Sneed, Vince Morris, Darrell Joyce, Michael Loftus, Mark Eubanks, and co-founders of the benefit Jack Thomas and John Ratthbone.
A special thanks to Steve for inviting me and to Dino for pulling me up on stage and coxing me to sing and dance for the audience. Which by the way was pretty funny in it’s self:) Hopefully I will be invited back next year for an encore. Thanks guys for the laughs and for helping a great charity.
I have attached the DSACO link if you would like to learn more about the organization http://www.dsaco.net/
