“Oh, I do relish a challenge.”

– Lady Danbury

Dearest Gentle Reader, did you miss me? The ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honor to impart to you: The 2022 MPI Tennessee Silent Auction and Gala is upon us! Honestly, have you checked out the amazing auction items we have up on our site? Have you purchased your ticket for the most distinguished event of the year? Do you have your attire picked out? Are you ready to boogie all night long? I must give a shout out to City Winery for sponsoring this amazing evening. I genuinely cannot wait to see each and every one of you let loose for an unforgettable night.

If you cannot make it to the event, please look at our auction site and consider bidding. We have some amazing items donated this year and as our largest fundraiser of the year, every dollar made from our auction goes back to you, our members. We firmly believe in furthering our members through education, scholarships, and networking opportunities. And without this event, we could not make that possible.

I look forward to seeing you all there and let it be known, if there is a SCANDAL I shall uncover it and share every last detail!!!!!! I do hope there is a scandal.😊

To Infinity and Beyond!

Melanie Blanche, CMP
