Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak at the Lions Club of Ventura's monthly meeting. I had so much fun with this service group. I shared my story and the story of Luggage of Love. They asked so many interesting questions. I am excited to partner with them in future fundraising events that will benefit both of our
organizations as well as their cottage home which houses foster youth in the community. Thanks again for inviting me to speak at your meeting and thank you for the gift.

Colbert is an associate producer of the film The Vow. The Vow is a beautiful love story about a married couple named Kim and Krickett Carpenter. Tom worked for 6 years to bring this story to the big screen and he did a phenomenal job.
Last night I attended the CSI: Y Event at the Las Posas Country Club. There was a crime scene and clues were given to solve who murdered two attendees of the event. This fundraiser honored Sheriff Geoff Dean and raised funds for essential equipment, special projects and programs not 
fully funded by the County to support the Ventura County Sherriff's Office. I always love supporting such a worthy cause.
