MC for Pink Drive in October – I have the privilege to MC and co-host the Pink Drive evening at Emperor’s Palace. My co-host will be the beautiful and vivacious Jolene Martin. We have worked together in the past and shot a short TV commercial – we had a lot of fun and the end product looked great under direction of Renee Goedhals. I am very excited to be working with Jolene again. I think we are going to have even more fun hosting this festive event.
