Fund raising

Why are all fund raising efforts for worthy causes in the Fall? I'm broke, before Christmas now. :)

A few weeks ago was the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fund raiser walk. I was a team captain for the company team this year again, and somehow, me and my big mouth, I got volunteered to take care of Game Day. I ended up scrounging around and set up a few games with Justin's help with games from his church. I went out to Tractor Supply and bought a huge bucket, and I combed all of Nashville looking for rubber duckies!! and finally found 12... And Justin's church had the ring toss and golf putting hole. And I borrowed the corn hole games from Rich, and drew tic-tac-toe for a three in the row toss. I also put together an M&M guessing jar... it all went over pretty well, we ended up making just over $1300. Madness, glad it's over! ;)



This week, we had raffles for Race for the Cure, Susan G. Komen's Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and I actually won! Three things. A baking set, Cookies 101 (very cool), a plastic blue Margarita glass and pitcher set (also very cool), and a little bundle of random fishing lures.... I'm not sure what to say about that, but I'm sure I'll find them a good home. ;) And the walk itself is tomorrow morning, so it'll be an early morning tomorrow. Wish me luck!

But seriously, why do they all have to fall in the Fall?
