The Gala

I had a problem choosing a photo from today. It didn't seem #goodenough... but I will remember that day precisely, when I look at it someday. After yesterday's overnight work, I couldn't sleep till late hours, so - still quite unconscious - I got picked up by my mother's friend (and ex-boss) Maciej and we went straight to Poznań for The Grand Galloping Gala. Ehm... nope. Let's get serious. It was 10th anniversary of the foundation my Mother works at (and, to be honest, She runs it for most of that time). To celebrate it, She organised a grand Gala at Poznań University of Adam Mickiewicz Grand Hall. The man standing next to her is Artur Andrus - one of the most known radio journalist, comedian, singer... and the best compere we could think of. He narrated the whole event, but I caught the moment of my Mum's short speech. It was a beautiful evening, with wonderful guests, comedians, cabarets, singers and - for the grand finale - Zakopower concert (a marvellous one). Everything went exactly as planned, and the reception was better than anyone could've expected. I'm so, so, so proud of that wonderful Woman. Long live "Fundacja Stworzenia Pana Smolenia"!
