Hard to believe it was just a week ago we were together for “What I Let Go.” Thank you to everyone who joined us for a beautiful evening together! You also helped donate 78 lbs of PB for VEAP, countless boxes of Dove for Source and a total between both shows of $3k for our lovely venue. Plus we learned that you helped support a Go Fund Me that raised $2400 for Jairo’s family. Thank you!

If you couldn’t make the show, enjoy this video that will air on Edina TV:
