---- Fundraiser Gala ---- Christine and I agreed we'd organize a fundraiser gala for the School of American Ballet //(Session 104)//! At ballet class, I heard rumours someone else may be organizing a similar event with a performance //(Session 106)// but I soon learned that Christine was the one who spread word in preparation of the event. I best get started, I suppose //(Session 107)//! I discussed the gala at the Rotary, as a sort of pre-announcement //(Session 109)//, and spoke with the person in charge at the School of American Ballet. They want me to bring my guardian - fortunately, the prince agreed //(Session 110)//. I held a brainstorm session with Carol and Tamara about the Gala //(Session 111)// and working out ideas //(Session 112)//. The prince finally came with me to the School of American Ballet and got them to agree to the event! //(Session 113)// Gabriella agreed to help and I'm very popular with the girls now that I'm involved //(Session 114)//, but I really need to pick the right ballet //(Session 115)// - we eventually decided on the Firebird, which has 13 princesses in it //(Session 116)//. To arrange a location, I visited the Met with Lindsey, but we failed to even get an audience with the director. I might have an in via my friends at the Rotary though //(Session 117)//. The girls at my ballet class are starting to get restless and the teacher insisted so I had to promise them to give more information on Monday once I have spoken to my friends at the Rotary. Good news though as Cierra promised to attend the performance //(Session 126)//! Kimberly took me to meet her uncle who promised he'd try to arrange the Met for me - it's gonna be tight though, I sort of promised an answer for the girls in my class tomorrow //(Session 127)//. Fortunately, Kimberly's uncle came through with a spot in the Met for April 11th! Auditions were held almost immediately and Gabriella got an understudy spot while two other friends of mine both got roles //(Session 128)//! We've been practicing a lot together, though here remains a lot of chaos at class. I was also asked about who would attend, and I dropped a few hints //(Session 129)//. The training has been brutal and we have been having drop outs already, the teacher even limiting training amounts. I invited the entire kindred community at Elysium too //(Session 130)//. I visited several clubs with Christine to invite important people. Later at Elysium, I asked Jacqueline for help, she said she'd speak to me later though in the meanwhile it turned out Pancake also knows a lot of people. I'm hoping to get the Mayor and Governor to come //(Session 131)//. I invited more people to the Fundraiser performance at the next Elysium. Fortunately, Christine knew what the deal was regarding tickets! //(Session 132)// During rehearsals, I managed to make a good impression, getting praise from the teacher and making a positive impression on the other girls who appreciated me not competing for roles. I think I made a rival though. I did manage to invite my friends from Yoga though //(Session 134)//. I called Pancake to make sure she'd come, as well as many others. Fortunately, everyone came and despite some rude people I was able to help backstage. Eventually I took Gabriella to see the Prince and we watched the show together - it was wonderful were it not for the freak accidents that kept happening! I was pretty upset about those, but the show went on and did not get cancelled, luckily //(Session 135)//. Despite the interruptions, the gala was otherwise a huge success and I spent the entire evening talking to people, thanking donors and introducing everyone to everyone. I think I did a good thing //(Session 136)//!
