A Night To Remember

Well, Last night was the big night! The big night in many ways! First off, it was the Young women's big fundraiser! It was a huge success! We had the gym at the church all decked out like an old school pasta house! with Lights, and black and white decorations! Shellie and I were at the church a total of like 10 hours setting up the place and throwing the shin dig! It was a long day! For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about....let me explain! Our girls need to raise lots of money to send them to camp down in South Dakota! We decided to host a spaghetti night where guests will pay $5.00 for a plate where they get spaghetti, a side dish vegetable, and some french bread. In addition to it, we played every part of it as if we were an actual restaurant! We had a hostess, waitresses, and a kitchen crew! In addition to that we had a silent auction of random things donated by very talented members of the church or local businesses. The best part of the night was the dessert auction! We had some people bidding high prices on a variety of desserts! The highest bid was for a Cherry Cheesecake that sold for $66.00! And it looked delicious!! To add some excitement to the evening......we had tornado warnings for Grand Forks! Scary! We were getting near the end of the dinner portion when the tornado sirens were going off! We were told that a funnel cloud had been spotted in an area not far from where we were.....SCARY! It was a night we will not soon forget! We had a goal to raise at least $500.00 and ended up earning about $700.00! Awesome!!
