THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR VIRTUAL GALA SUCH A SUCCESS!
Wow! What a night! Thank you for being a part of last week's SS United States Virtual Gala, commemorating the ship’s record-smashing maiden voyage. The gala "variety show" featuring stars of sound, stage, and screen was a huge success. From musical tributes and magical performances to celebrating the history of America’s Flagship, it was an hour of great fun. Special thanks to hosts and co-chairs of the Conservancy's West Coast Chapter Mark and David Perry (no relation), our producers at Beyond Pix, Dolly Parton, Kate Burton, Mercedes Ellington, Glenn Farrington, Akira Sky, Klea Blackhurst, Nita Whitaker and her daughters Skye and Liisi LaFontaine . Beginning with her maiden voyage, the "First Lady of the Seas" has always attracted extraordinary and inspiring talent!
