The fundraiser was last night. It was incredible. First, I want to say to anyone who reads this that was there, THANK YOU. My expectations were totally exceeded, any fears I had came to nothing. Almost every item in the silent auction was sold, raising nearly $700. And between my tips and the door prize tickets, my total take was almost $1000. I was just hoping for $500! So I am very excited. And although my computer is dead so I can’t check my total just yet, I think it’s close to $2200, if not more. Yay!

So many people were there. I was thinking about it this morning: there were people representing almost every phase of my life. Elementary school, high school, college, the neighborhood, Barnes & Noble, GPA, friends from Baton Rouge, so many people. It was so much fun! I was behind the bar most of the time so I couldn’t talk to everyone as much as I would have liked to. I was running on pure adrenaline. Amazing.

So the next fundraiser, which will be more low-key and hopefully easier to plan, will be on August 10. It’ll be a pub quiz night. I’m not sure if we’re going to sell tickets to get in, or how the money will be made, but it’ll be fun.

Yay!
