A Stellar Evening Where Great Fun Was Had by All!
Independence Empowerment Center’s 10th Anniversary Broadway Gala was a huge success! We filled the Evergreen Country Club. The dinner was as scrumptious as promised. Costumes were great on those who wore them, and everyone else looked pretty decent too. Remus Prokop’s film of IEC’s 10 Years in Perspective, was great fun. The awards were received graciously, and Miss Roberta cried as we all anticipated. Remus Prokop led Dr. Lopez in her promised “first dance.” And the dancing continued until a few songs after the “final” song. The DJ, Mark Harman of Harmany DJs, was a hit, and his business card was in demand!! Can anyone spell “FUN?”
The first ever “Senator Charles Colgan Advocacy Award” went to Carina Elgin of Fauquier County. The Volunteer of the Year Award went to Jennifer Wellington. The Consumer of the Year Award went to Emilia Prokop. Finally, the Employee of the Year Award went to Roberta McEachern (thus the tears).
