To cap off the week, last Saturday evening was the very special Fundraising Gala of the FIDM DEBUT Show to benefit the FIDM Scholarship Foundation. I was honored to be invited and attend, and in addition, doubly happy to give out next year's FIDM DEBUT scholarship recipient's awards--alongside the wonderful Barbara Bundy, FIDM Vice President, Education.
