Holiday Open House Fundraising Results
Last night was our annual holiday open house. The turnout was fantastic and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. The only negative was that I made enough food and bought enough booze to feed an army and ended up with more leftovers than I would like. That's a minor thing of course that was far outweighed by all the positives.
It's become our tradition to choose one charity or organization we'd like to support and turn our holiday party into an informal fund raiser for that charity or organization. This year we chose the Louisville Metro Meals on Wheels program. Since B is a geriatrician we wanted to support a program this year that specifically helps senior citizens. The fundraiser was an amazing success. People in Louisville have generosity of spirit and give freely of their dollars. At our little party we raised exactly $250. That amount will support one entire Meals on Wheels route which feeds, 10-12 senior citizens, for one week. We are overjoyed at the amount raised and feel so lucky to have such generous friends, neighbors and colleagues. Happy, happy holidays indeed.
