CLAY-
His smile warms hearts and breaks them
His laughter brings joy to those who hear it
His gentle teasing makes us laugh at ourselves
His eyes share love and hide pain
His heart cares for those others forget
His stunning voice melts the coldest heart.
His name is Clay Aiken, and we have waited
for him for a
              very
                     long
                        time.

Excitement Builds for
the Upcoming GALA
~~~
Aron Hall, Director of Services for the NATIONAL INCLUSION PROJECT posted yesterday on his Facebook page: "Gonna be an awesome weekend! I'm just saying, I don't think anyone has any idea what's in store..."
~~
Many fans are speculating that what is in store has more to do with what is happening with the foundation than with Clay's career.
~~
However, It is an intriguing statement because fans of Clay Aiken and supporters of the N.I.P.are well-known for ferreting out any news before it has been announced. Mr. Hall's comment has ony increased the anticipation of those who are lucky enough to hold tickets  to the organization's Gala, to be held this coming Saturday night, October 17th. 
~~
 Past Galas have been fun and   successful, raising large numbers of donations to the foundation and providing a lively evening of tributes, a fun and spirited auction, and a performance by Clay Aiken himself.

Check here after Saturday night for news, photos and video from the Gala which will be posted as soon as it/they become available.
