Before I tell you about how Sarasota Sally works, let me tell you about Vivian and her loving husband Greg. Vivian is an Italian cutie from New Jersey who grew up in the restaurant business, owned 2 restaurants and also owned a beauty salon. She was licensed to teach and taught in a beauty school for a number of years.

Vivian decided to try office work to find something really challenging and new to do.  Along comes Greg, a co-worker, on his white horse, and two months later THEY GOT MARRIED!  That was 18 years ago and I always look at them together and say, “that’s a good marriage.”  They are best friends and a very cute couple!  Greg doesn’t advertise the fact that he is a performer and has acted and sang in local theatre company musicals and plays. Vivian heads up a chapter of a National Non-Profit Organization called The Compassionate Friends.  This is a group of people who meet once a month and give support to other members who have lost a child and are having a hard time due to that hardship.  She gives selflessly of her time to minister to these folks and encourage them that they’re not alone.  She is community-minded, always offering sponsorships to fundraising events and volunteering for various community-based charities.  You can also catch Vivian on TV with Chef Rolf as a guest assistant in the kitchen.  Vivian is EVERYWHERE!
