One fundraiser down...on to the next!

Last night was our fundraiser at Uno's at RTC--definitely a great evening. The weather was perfect, we actually got to sit out on the patio for a while and throw a few back before the crowds rolled in :) We had a good turnout--I think I counted about 50 supporters at one time and that was just at that particular point. I heard from the restaurant though that there were parties that had come for lunch as well. Anyhow, we did well..it wasnt a HUGE money maker but we were able to bank a couple hundred dollars--which is great for not doing a whole lot! Good food, good drinks and good company made last night an overall success. We thank all of you that were there to support us! We've been so blessed :)

Stay tuned for our next FUNDRAISING EVENT at Mister Days Bar & Grill in Arlington on June 7th featuring a silent auction and DATE auction :) Hope to see you there!

The Eve of Our First Fundraising Event

Watching Friday Night Lights and feeling a little antsy for our event tomorrow at UNO's in Reston Town Center. Plus I just got back from a run and I am having a bit of trouble keeping still. Restless leg syndrome? ;)

Deena and I are pretty excited about tomorrow and I think we're going to have a GREAT turnout--a lot of support from friends, family and church members. Obviously, it's not going to be a HUGE money maker but every little bit helps and it also helps raise awareness about our trip and keeps the excitement and momentum going.

Thanks to Saraarrr--it was her idea to contact UNO's and partner with them. She also suggested handing out fliers to people at the Town Center--unfortunately we've already been warned against that by UNO's. I MAY post some around our condo association and if I have time at Harris Teeter but otherwise RTC vicinity is off limits. Don't want to push my luck as a loiterer!

Anyhow, I think the idea of a pizza eating contest tomorrow night might help raise those check amounts ;)

Hope you can make it tomorrow!
