I was so tired last night after spending from eleven in the morning until eight at night working and putting up decorations. If I must say so myself things look pretty good. The casino tables were delivered, lights were put around the popcorn and pretzel cart, money and posters of cards put around and generally a Las Vegas look.
This morning it is back again to fill the centerpiece beach pails with sand and finish decorating the tables. The theme is on the Boardwalk and so far we have a little over two hundred people showing up.
This event is a big fund raiser for charity and so far we have raised enough money selling tickets so the rest of the funds coming in will be pure profit for charity.
I don't think anyone realizes how much work goes into one of these parties. The building is under an acre of ground and you walk a million steps to get from point A to point B. I've been doing events for over thirty years there and I do think it is about time for others to get involved and do a few things.
Four of us spent days of wrapping gift baskets, putting bows on paintings and generally getting everything ready. There were some nice trips. One to Hawaii for two, a trip for two to Las Vegas, money prizes etc. It should be a good Event.
Sunday: well it is the day after and other then being in a pile because I'm so tired the Event was a huge success. Everyone had a great time and you have thought people were winning money instead of Script. The Script was turned in for tickets to place in buckets in front of the prizes offered. The core group didn't get out of there until after 11:00 p.m. and believe me it was a full day and evening.
Today AT&T showed up and hopefully resolved the monumental problems with my t.v. and computer. The new Tech changed everything out for me so we will see if that does it. What a pain. It seems when you change things everything goes awry.
Heard from Bruno yesterday and today. He is coming back on Tuesday.
I'm going back to bed to relax.
