It's Time to Give Back

Hello everyone! I wanted to drop a quick note to tell you about an auction that Lb Cakes' is fortunate enough to be a part of. Way back in the day, I was part of an awesome choir called the Grand Cities Children's Choir. They were just starting their second year when I joined. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the choir for two years and it really shaped who I am today. It helped my confidence, I made new friends, I learned to sing properly and how to work well with others. 

Check out this throwback of us as freshman in high school!

​9th grade is the last year you can be a part of the choir and I just couldn’t give it up so I chose the option to become a GG. GG’s are mentors for the choirs, where they help with choir practice and shuffling kids around at the concerts. I will admit, I was a little terrified because kids SCARE me, they all think I’m their age because they’re taller than I am. But I was able to mentor the 3rd graders in Poco Voce for three years, and it was a blast (I was taller than a few of them)! I made even more friends, was able to show my outgoing side, help kids learn how to sing and I had the opportunity to give back to the choir that meant so much to me. 

Since I graduated high school, I have always wanted to give back even more. I mean, I was involved in this fantastic choir for 5 years. But I couldn’t figure out how they could use me so I gave up and didn’t really think about it for a while. Then, a few weeks ago, my choir teacher asked if I would donate to the auction they are putting on to help my former choir go to Washington DC! Of course I would! It’s finally my opportunity to give back! The point of this blog is for me to say go check out the auction and if you find something you like, bid on it, I promise it will go towards a great cause!
