Let me share some interesting things with you. Hmmm, I think maybe a list is in order!!
- Our kids were awesome. Helped out with setting up and catering and anything else we needed done
- Friends came along and pitched in with setting up and tidying up at the end of the night. No-one was asked, they just did it!
- We were running short of change, so a guest grabbed some notes and went out to a nearby store to get some change. Again without being asked. She just jumped right in and helped. Amazing!
- Friends donated heaps of prizes which helped out immensely with keeping our costs down so that more money could go to the girls.
- We had four teenage girls helping for their school community service program. They were absolutely amazing. Did everything they were asked to do and more. Always with grace. I hope their families and school are proud of them.
- A friend brought along an old fridge which had been converted into a huge icebox to keep drinks cold. AND he brought it already filled with ice. How cool is that!
- So many people helped out is so many ways. A big thank you to them all
The only "downside" of the night was the bidding war on one of the artworks which were being auctioned... Mr Adams apparently needed the Union Jack made of cars for his office more than we needed it for Hugh's bedroom! Luckily I know the artist (Hi Louise!!) so I can source one myself. Ha!
We ended up having a tie for first! Shame we hadn't thought to have some spare questions!! So Josie and I had to pop outside and come up with some.
We had a really cool round of Josie and Wendy questions... Hugh and I had made cut out hand-prints so people could raise their hand for Josie (blue) or Wendy (purple). It was so much fun.
I will share the questions with you... I wonder how many you can get correct! Be careful though... some of them might be sneaky tricks!
