			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My good friend is at the tail end of her fundraising for <a href="http://www.sjusd.org/williams/">Williams Elementary School</a> and has a couple spots open for her Pilates Class this Saturday, November 12 @ 8:30am.</p>
<p>If you would like to book her Saturday class or any future classes, please see her information below.  I have been going to her classes for probably a year now and she has helped me tremendously with my knee &#038; back therapy!!!  She is very knowledgeable and an expert with working on correct form and can help you correct or improve your aching and problem areas.  Love her!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the pleasure of photographing the <strong>Jason Bonham&#8217;s Led Zeppelin Experience</strong> at the <a title="The Saddle Rack" href="http://www.thesaddlerack.com/" target="_blank">Saddle Rack</a>.  The music was great and while the band rocked on, Tracy Cressio and I sold raffle tickets to the audience for a chance to win a copy of the bands drum set.  I&#8217;m not a musician but I would have been happy to have won the set worth over 10K!!!</p>
<p>A huge THANK YOU goes out to Tracy Cressio for helping connect my <a title="Relay For Life of Almaden" href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&amp;fr_id=29184" target="_blank">Relay For Life, Team Charlie&#8217;s Angels</a>, with the Saddle Rack!  The Saddle Rack sold merchandise and a percentage of what was sold that evening went to the <a title="The American Cancer Society" href="http://www.cancer.org/" target="_blank">American Cancer Society</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you to ALL persons involved for helping out a great cause!</p>
<p>Here are a few of my favorites of the evening.</p>
