This March, Marsha traveled to the Middle East for the Young Entrepreneurs Organization (YEO) Dubai University. Entitled “From Vision to Reality” the conference was comprised of business leaders from around the world to discuss challenges and opportunities facing today’s entrepreneurs in a global marketplace.

A group of around 30 continued on for a cultural tour of Cairo, Egypt.

On Easter Sunday, Marsha spent the holiday at Georgetown Hospital’s Pediatric ICU. Marsha handed out handmade Easter baskets to Cancer patients and children awaiting transplants.  These brave children made her Easter a special day to remember.  Next year, she plans to make this an Easter tradition with her two boys as well. Holidays can be an extremely exhausting and challenging for families that have children in the hospital for many months.

With great pride at The Ralls Collection, we would like to note that Jake Feldman (11), Marsha’s oldest son, caught the first foul ball at the opening game for the Washington National’s on April 14, 2005! Go NATS!
