This weekend was THE FUNDRAISER. Anyone who has spoken to me for the past month knows this has been a mind and apartment consuming project.
We were trying to raise money for the newly formed Opportunity Without Limits, basically the second generation of a group I have been closely involved with for many years, Winners On Wheels. It has been a long road, and a lot of thought went into the change, but finally we felt like it was in our best interest to break off and form our own organization. Come to find out that takes money. Money for activities, t-shirts, brochures, etc, etc…What better way to raise money than gather a group of crazy wonderful scrappers for a day long crop?
What a huge success! I was really nervous the week before the event, wondering if anyone would show up, if people would have fun, and if we really would make any money? I had nothing to worry about. I should have known that when we out our minds to it, a good time will be had!
Thanks to 8 vendors, 20 scrapper, and a dozen volunteer we made $530 towards starting our new organization! WOW! (or should I say HOOT! =) ). How awesome is that?? I can’t begin to thank everyone who made this crop a success, it was such a group effort and each person who came was a HUGE part of the day! I have a few pictures to share and you can see for yourself:
{YARD SALE TABLE}Buying, selling, making more money for more buying!
{VENDORS}One of our AWESOME vendors- 62 Cards
{VOLUNTEERS} Just a few of the volunteers who helped out during the day. A few of them were there al day long!!! Thank you!
{SCRAPPERS} Let me tell you, we had a LOT of talented ladies in that room!
{KIDS}One of the OWL kids, Travis, stopped by to hand out door prizes. He was a big hit!
Can't you tell we had fun? Doesn't it make you want to sign up for next year ;] ? Stay tuned!
If you were there-THANK YOU! Leave a comment and tell everyone else what you thought about the day: what did you work on? what did you buy? did you win a door prize
