I will be walking in a fashion show fundraiser for the organization Luke’s Wings. Luke’s Wings is a great cause dedicated to the support of service members who have been wounded in battle. “Recognizing the immediate need for families to be with their loved ones during such a difficult time, Luke’s Wings provides families with the means to visit during the service member’s hospitalization and rehabilitation.”

Hosted by WUSA 9’s Angie Goff, the event will feature cocktails, hors d’eourves, and a silent auction. Models and military service men and women ‘take flight’ in a swank, high energy runway exhibition highlighting cutting edge fashion from Washington’s best boutiques and collections by the District’s premier designers. Make it out if you can, it should be a fun event!

Social networking is no longer for just friends and families to stay in touch with one another but also a great tool for connecting local businesses to their customers. With the rise of new media, many entrepreneurs have started to utilized online social networking websites like Twitter or Facebook to engage with their market.

Last year, street food in major cities across the country experienced a new way to dine out in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco as well as Washington. In DC, food vendors have been located in the bustling intersection of famous buildings, monuments and museums along the National Mall by serving half-smokes, egg rolls, pizza, ice cream to tacos and more.  Food trucks became transit around the District in 2007 and the trend of tweeting food trucks emerged on the Internet last year.
