The Big Event

Well, it was a huge success! Bigger than we could ever have imagined! We had over 100 coats donated and almost as much food too! We had about 100 people show up to the event and it was spectacular! Everything worked out perfectly, nothing went wrong and nothing was a flop. I learned so much about so many things and I am so excited about how amazing it was.

We had all kinds of people show up, young and old and it was amazing. And my roommates all came and two of my best friends showed up too. It was wonderful! From left to right, Emily, Melinda, Me and Sydney.

I feel so blessed that this worked so well and that people ended up leaving so happy with the event. I get a weeks break to write papers and such and then the planing starts for our formal ball in the spring. I am super excited for a chance to go looking for a formal! I have too many chances to use them so I am super excited to have to shop for one. But I am excited to start planning another event and doing all the bits and pieces that are required for it. If I could just plan events for the rest of my life I would be totally happy! This was the greatest feeling and it wasn't just that it was a success, but that we were able to give back to our community.

We had 15 volunteers helping out with the event, helping collect coats, food, helping with the raffle and helping out on the course. My dear friends Kim and Nalleli helped out with the shirt distribution, thanks guys!

We had a fun and crazy event and I chose the least offensive to most to share, so you may choose to quickly pass this picture, but it just shows how fun and entertaining it was! People took the event seriously and we loved it!
Thank you to all my wonderful volunteers who gave time and smiled when I had to take a minute to think about answers to great questions. Thank you for making it a success and for giving me some great memories!
