Cher and I Appreciate FCMG Manufacturing, the producers of Tru Blood and Their Help

It is that time of year again, The Emmy Awards. Of all of the charity events we work on together to produce, this is among our favorites. The opportunity to work toward something that benefits others is our love.

This year we are helping to raise funds for Shining Star Kids of America during Emerging Magazine's 2010 Pre-Emmy Celebrity Luxury Party and Fashion Show.

So many wonderful people are coming together to benefit the charity chosen as this year's recipient. International Superstar, Romina Arena, Virgil Gibson, former lead singer for the original, Platters are among others joining in to bring their talent into the hearts of those attending the two-day event.

From the artists to the fashion designers coming together to help raise funds for the charity, we are humbled. Tiffany, has been so instrumental in helping pull together so many wonderful people. We appreciate her diligence and hard work. Catherine, thank you for bringing Romina and Virgil into our lives. Both are wonderful, humorous and demonstrate amazing talent. Jeff, thanks for assisting on the technical side. Your are worth your weight in gold. Everyone working together with us, you are appreciated and we are grateful for your assistance, understanding and your efforts.

We want to extend a special thank you to FCMG Manufacturing for their support for the event. Here is a plug for their team and generosity:

Emerging Magazine is proud to announce Tru Blood, HBO’s official Tru Blood drink produced by FMCG Manufacturing is a Supporting Sponsor of Emerging Magazine's 2010 Pre-Emmy Celebrity Luxury Party & Fashion Show.



The generous sponsor is also donating items for the silent auction to raise funds for Shining Star Kids of America.

Supporting Sponsor, FMCG Manufacturing will be giving away bottles of Tru Blood during the two-day celebrity charity event. Release the vampire within you and remember, Friends Don't Let Friends Drink Friends." Give them Tru Blood instead! The official drink of the HBO hit series, True Blood.

This inimitable beverage is pulled from the veins of the hit HBO series True Blood. Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, the show takes place in the not-too-distant future, when vampires have come out of the coffin, thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood by a Japanese conglomerate (Tru Blood) that means vampires no longer need humans as a nutritional source.

The Blood Orange flavor is slightly tart and lightly sweet, drinking cleanly and crisply with the subtle liveliness of carbonation.

Designed to taste great while matching the appearance of the product in the show, the drink pours like a regular soda, but the standing appearance in a glass is dense and opaque.

Thank you Tru Blood!

Cher and I will be visiting friends during our travels to LA, then it is on to our heart's home... Beautiful San Francisco. New Orleans will be home for a few days when we return from San Francisco. So many exciting things we are involved in there! However, we aren't going to tell just what is, keeping it a mystery and to ourselves at this point.

Then it is back home for a few days, before we hit the road again! Cher is truly amazing and I am grateful to have such a wonderful woman by my side.

Okay, that is all for now! Bon temps roulez!
