Shhhh.... not quite ready to tell yet. But stay tuned ..."

"In the meantime," she adds, "you have one last chance. If you've been sitting on a question, now's the time to ask it!"

You can get your important questions answered at no cost during the call. Debra "will answer your individual questions about how to be successful and prosperous doing what you love, how to overcome your obstacles (internal and external) and how to create a sustainable and profitable business."
+
But don't delay. She says, "I've already got some great questions for this month's call, but I have time for a few more. So bring your biggest challenges and burning questions to get the personal coaching you need to break through, or listen and learn as others get their questions answered."

+
This is on the venue's other stage; the BROMBIES still play their full evening, too.
+
A very special event that's sure to satisfy, as Viva joyously welcomes back TROY WALKER, the flamboyant, talented song stylist whose out-of-this-world style won him such diverse fans as Elvis Presley, Louella Parsons, Ethel Merman, Mae West and Ronald Reagan.
+
As journalist Todd Everett said: "I took a friend from out of town to see Troy Walker at Viva Cantina. Didn't really tell her what to expect, other than that she's never seen anything like it, and I admitted that it's difficult to 'explain' Troy. The next morning, I sort of figured it out: a cross between Wayne Newton and Rip Taylor. That or what I first told my friend: 'the greatest entertainer in the history of show business.'"
