Sharons Celebrity Update, Letters to Sharon

Dear Sharon,

I have had a fantastic week with Rockonz.

You my dear are an amazing lady so thank you for being such a blessing to many of us this week.

It has been a privilege to meet you even though I didn't realise who you are until tonight. You are so caring and gracious in spite of how famous you are and made me feel special. Thank you .

Monday morning I am going to scatter Sauls ashes he would have been 16 on 3rd March so what you did for Stephanie really touched my heart.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS.

Hello Sharon

I read with greatest interest your interview in The Star today.

You are one in a million! They have stopped making people like you.

Having just visited your website, you are currently No1 as well as No2 out of 10 million in Google search. This is awesome.

Greatest regards and respect

Shona Wilson

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for your help with the PR for the Rockonz Festival and
especially the Celebration Dance Party. As I was so heavily involved with
the day to day minutia in the myriad of tasks required to put the festival in place,
I was not able to give the time required to promote the Festival in the way
it deserved. This is where your help was invaluable.

It is important to say that you stepped in at the right time to help
create a special input to the festival which gave the evening a point of difference.
The Crown Limousines have their own ability to add that special
"pizzazz" to any special event.

The generosity of you and David in donating the use of the Limousines
to transport the Stars to and from the airport (often at inconvenient times)
was wonderful. Again the “Hollywood” atmosphere created when the Stars
arrived at the venue was something the people of Christchurch haven’t had
before and they showed their appreciation with enthusiastic applause.

Dion and I hope we can create a relationship with yourself and
Crown Limousines which will help raise our “Rockonz” Festival
as a national presence in the near future.

Yours sincerely

Cecile and Dion Murphy
Rockonz Festival Directors

Re: Kidman - Urban Wedding

Dear Sharon

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

You described Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's
wedding so well for the world to share.

I cried when I read about him serenading his love song to her.

Keep informing us.

Howdy Sharon!

Thanks for letting me know about the articles.

What a terrific Web site -- and in New Zealand to boot...the very

definition of "exotic"! (Well, at least to those of us here in semi-drab Central Florida!)

If you'd like to exchange links, just drop me a line.

Thanks again, Sharon, and please keep me posted regarding

any future Moody Blues info on your site.

All the best,

Mark

Your thoughtful and the kind words are appreciated. One of the great joys of
our business is that we get to meet so many special people.

We have truly enjoyed our 9 years in Christchurch, and as we move to Bangkok
and our 9th posting we will look back fondly on our sojourn here.

Christchurch and New Zealand will have one more
Ambassador to sing its praises. Again, thanks.

Hello Sharon,

Firstly thank you for your website.

I agreed with your Yulia review 100%. You mentioned you were going to put
some photos up on the web at some time of the evening and I am dying to see
them.

My partner surprised me with tickets for the evening and in the rush we did
not take our camera.

I am particularly interested in a photo with the beautiful gold outfit on.
Yulia looks like an angel.

Kindest wishes to you,

Diane

hi Sharon.

thanks for the call the other day regarding your support for the City Mission Dinner.

anyway i thought that as thursday is your favourite day

of the week, then i'd get something sent through to you.

it is great that individuals like yourself come forward to support members

of the community that are less fortunate than ourselves. the

response is always over-whelming at christmas time, which is fantastic

i did have a thought too - we have been trying to come up with

entertainment ideas for clients before the dinner. an option could

be that one of your limousines could take clients on brief trips around the school.

thank you again for the generous offer of support. please

don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything that you require.

enjoy the rest of this wonderful thursday!

kind regards,

richie.

Your Website

Hello Sharon!

I happened upon your website and am dropping you a note to tell you what wonderful pictures you posted of Robert Lamm! I have been a fan of his music for well over 30 years and was excited to see your pictures as well as some from other fans (on another site) of his solo performance in New Zealand .

How fortunate you are to have driven him and his entourage during his stay, and how I wish I was in your shoes! I'm glad you had a great time! I know it's been a while since your part of the world has seen Chicago/Robert Lamm, so I'm even happier for you.

I would love to see more pictures if you have them and/or would share them.

I would also like to take a moment to invite you to visit out site at www.chicagofans.org. We are based in the U.S. and not affiliated with the band or its management but we do have a great group of Chicago/Lamm fans there where you can discuss the band with other likeminded people, so if you're interested just go to the website and register. If you have any problems, please contact me at this email address.

Again, thank you for making your site available and for giving those of us here in the U.S. an opportunity to at least see some pictures.

Regards,

Maria

Re: Auckland , NZ

Hi Sharon,

I really enjoyed your article and review of Robert Lamms solo show in New Zealand this past week. The photos were great!

I was wondering if any of the tv performances or interviews that were held in NZ last year or this year were available for purchase?

Will the DVD and CD be available in the States also? I live on the East Coast of the US and I was unable to get away at the time to fly to NZ to see Robert's show but I wished so much that I could have been there to be supportive in person.

I just wanted to thank you for the updated news regarding the promotion of his Cd launch and the show!!

I hope someday to get to see New Zealand....maybe if Robert tours there next year!

Thank you again!

Re: Modelling Night

Dear Sharon

It was so lovely to talk to you, Sharon.
Thank you so much for your kindness on the Makeover day.It was like a dream.

I have never travelled in a limo before and David was so warm and nice. You are very beautiful. My daughter said how very beautiful you are. You are beautiful inside as well.

Talking to you on phone was lovely because I got to know you that you are so genuine and real.

We meet a lot of false people and you are just real.
It was encouraging to hear you say that you don't take anything for granted.

Some people set themselves up above other people.

You are lovely, warm and real.
I hope you don't overwork with your fundraising and have time for Christmas and New Year.

I would love to have a coffee with you, Sharon if you have time. I really felt the same wave length with you.

I like real people like you and David are just warm and lovely.

God Bless you and keep safe

Love from
Averil Bradshaw

Dear Sharon

Masked Ball for the Unattatched
This is just a short note in the interim, from me to say an enormous thank you to you both for your wonderful support of our event.

Yesterday, I received 4 telephone calls through the office, from people that attended the ball and the feed back has been excellent.

As I mentioned on Saturday evening, the sound system seemed to be the only negative about the event and Sharon you carried it through with enormous professionalism.

Your sponsorship is also most appreciated and is certainly within keeping of the style of the event.

Warmest regards

Dear Sharon

The Michael Hingson Event Series
On 5 May 2003, Michael Hingson and Guide Dog Roselle arrived in this country for a New Zealand tour to raise funds for the Royal NZ Foundation of the Blind Guide Dog Services.

Ten fundraising events were planned and Michael received warm acclaim for his thought provoking addresses.

Each speech was slightly different but the message he was delivering was of trust and team work, the two main ingredients of successful business relationships.

As you may be aware, the RNZFB receive no funding whatsoever from Government for the provision of Guide Dog Services and it costs $22,500 to train each guide dog.

Without our supporters, donors, and freinds we cannot run such events.
Your generosity in donating an Irish Tenors CD plus limousine rides for our Christchurch and Auckland auctions was greatly appreciated and you will be pleased to know that these gifts assisted us in raising $865 towards the auction totals for the Foundation.
Your complementary rides for Michael Hingson whilst he was in Christchurch were also most welcome by the recipient.

Thank you for your continued support.

Julie McMeeken
National Events Assistant
Royal NZ Foundation of the Blind

Dear Sharon

I was totally blown away by all the great things I read about you in this week's New Zealand Women's Weekly.
You are a great inspiration for me. The magazine barely covers all the other wonderful things you have done; like being on a television breakfast show.

It is not surprising- you are so beautiful and those eyes reflect so much kindness.
I am jolly glad I checked your website out- you are indeed an incredible woman.

Jose Grant

To fabulously driven Sharon

Give encouragement and inspiriration to others Well, you certainly inspired me,as does my weekly dose of SWAP and to many other fulfilling things.
Continued joy in every venture Sharon.

Interested parties have already approached me about our charity Ball next year,hoping to be involved.The Press coverage has caused a great surge of interest.
