Las Vegas Graduates!
Charles Prosper's School
of Balloon Decorating students show off their diplomas after successfully completing
the 2-Day hands-on intensive class given by Charles Prosper (middle) in October of
1996. Only months later, many of these same grads pictured have begun decorating
for the many parties, conventions and gala events that Las Vegas is famous for. In
fact, on October 17 of 1997, exactly one year later, Luz Estela Curvelo, pictured
here, stooping slightly, in the middle, on the right-hand side, pictured with her
husband Gustavo Curvelo standing above her in the striped shirt had the Grand Opening
for their brand new balloon and party store Balloon Celebrations located in
a very attractive shopping mall of Las Vegas. (If you're ever in Las Vegas, give
her a call at (702) 220-9029, and tell her that Charles says "Hello".)
Way to go, Luz and Gustavo!
Miami Graduates!
Miami, Florida got their
first experience with Charles Prosper in November of 1996. Miami balloon enthusiasts
had been waiting for more than a year for the arrival of Charles' class. The class
booked out 3 months ahead of schedule! Of this group, there have been at least four
students that we personally know who have started their balloon businesses for home.
Ft. Lauderdale Graduates!
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida entered
the ranks as professional balloon artists in Jamuary of 1997 when Charles gave his
famous 2-day hands-on seminar. Two of the graduates pictured, the third and fourth
from the left, are two sisters who flew all the way from the Jamaican Islands to
take advantage of the opportunity to be taught in person by the master himself and
be able to go back to their city of Kingston and start their balloon enterprise there;
the last report that we received from them is that they are on their way to becoming
"the sensation of the islands!"
Los Angeles Graduates!
Los Angeles, California students
proudly display their achievement of becoming professional balloon artists. In this
particular class given in January of 1996. Nancy Arechiga, the youngest graduate
and entrepreneur here is only 14 years old (on the right side kneeling in
blue jeans); just imagine where she'll be in about 10 years or so! Charles Prosper
has helped persons of all ages, backgrounds and situations to become
successful.
Mexico City Graduates!
México, D.F. couldn't
get enough of Charles Prosper in November of 1995 when he wow-ed them with a special
Christmas design class. People were still fighting at the door to get in after we
had to closed the enrollments. During this period while in México, Charles also
gave classes in the Mexican cities of Guadalajara, Pachuca, and Querétero.
Santa Ana Graduates!
Santa Ana, California grads
were smiles ear-to-ear after taking the 2-day hands-on balloon seminar. The thrill
of staring your own home-based balloon decoration business is a thrill that is hard
to describe with words. These and all of the other students and grads that you see
and above are everyday people just like you who have taken action and are living their dreams of becoming finacially independent doing something
