GALA GIRL LETTERS




ANOTHER GALA HAS COME AND GONE


Yes our 7th annual gala is in the past and we are already planning for our 8th.
This years gala was special for me thanks to the efforts of the management
team, this was the first year in the past four gala's that I was able to
relax and just mingle without worrying about every little detail of the event.

We hope that everyone who attended this years event found it to be a very
enjoyable experience. The snow did fall but did not hamper the spirit of the
event. So please tell everyone you know what the gala means to you and help
us spread the word so that we can continue to make the gala better each year.

Wednesday we went to Moonsense for dinner, they held a ladies night for us
which gave us a new experience in a new venue.

Thursday after dinner we had a fashion show with vendors bringing the
clothes to be modeled and we had a great group of girls model them for us
including ( LA FREAK ) thank you ladies for your stunning job.

Friday we had dueling pianos and as always they gave a great
performance they did miss being able to pick on some of the regulars Who
were not in attendance this year.

Saturdays dinner theater was a lot of fun this was a big change from years
past. After the performance we tried something new by having a D.J. in the
hotel bar which gave us the choice of either going to Trance or staying at
the hotel and mingling with other people that were staying at the hotel.

Sunday morning gave us the chance to say goodbye till next year. So I hope
to see all of you next year and here is to the friends we have made and new
ones to come.

TIME OF MY LIFE

What can I say but thanks for the time of my life at the gala! You sure
do know how to throw a party, girl. I have been a CD for 28 years and that was the
second time I had been out and the first time in 10 years. I had always dreamed of a
weekend like that one and you made my dreams come true. Thanks. See you next year.

LOVED GRAE

I wanted to write to say that I soooo much enjoyed the gala. A week later,
I find myself mentally drifting back to the weekend and all of its events.
You did a wonderful job organizing it and I think having Grae Phillips
on hand was a crowning jewel. Also, personally, it gave me a time to grow
inside and better understand myself in a way I wouldn't of otherwise.
I met some very interesting people, including your wife, Kim. She
was so nice to me, I really enjoyed her conversation. Please tell her I said hi.

Love, Jillian



WONDERFUL TIME

I just wanted to tell you again what a wonderful time I had
at the gala. As this was my first crossdressing event, it was over all
too soon. But the fun I had and the new friends I made was what it was
all about. All I can say is that you and the rest of the Erie Sisters
put on a great event. The people at the hotel were wonderful to us
girls and the tours were cool. We were treated like ladies by all of the people
giving the tours and that made me feel great. When my girlfriend and I went
shopping we were addressed as ma'am and ladies. I had never had this happen to
me before. I will check the Erie Sisters' Web site for pictures of the gala and other
news. I want to thank Erie Sisters for something I will remember for the rest of my life.

See you next year,
Barbara Sue Ellis


GALA WAS FANTASTIC

Everything about the gala was fantastic. Be assurred that Erie Gala will
be at the top of my list (in 2001). I'll be sure to get my reservation
in early, as I'm sure it will be bigger and better next year.
