Rysheema Dixon Kickoff Celebration

Rysheema Dixon, Wilmington City Council Member At-Large candidate, hosted her first campaign fundraiser on Friday, February 5th, 2016, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.  The campaign fundraiser was held at the Chris White Gallery located at 701 North Shipley Street in Wilmington, Delaware. 

The fundraiser was a free event open to the public, but a suggested donation was requested.  If you would like more information on making a donation please contact Porsha Hargrove, (973) 842-5864.

I was invited to attend this political fundraiser and be part of the media coverage by Porsha Hargrove PR and Consulting.  It was a highly energized and fun filled evening attended by many of Rysheema’s constituents as well as several movers and shakers from in and around the Wilmington community.

Hosting the fundraiser at the Chris White Gallery was a perfect venue because on this crisp winter evening many people came in and out, mixing and mingling and reminding me a bit of being in SOHO, New York City.  

An eclectic mix of music provided by a DJ; lively conversations and laughter; finger foods and drinks was enhanced even more so by the various art pieces hanging on the walls, including this one of Audrey Hepburn in the ladies room.
