Guatemala Project Update

So we are four and a half months out from heading down to Guatemala and I am getting very excited. Last week we had a fundraising event and raised $1200 for supplies. This was amazing especially since we pulled it together in two weeks. I wish I could take credit but it wasn't my idea or work, but the group putting it together did an amazing job.

So the activity was a mocktail party (we're non-drinkers) with mixed drinks and hor d'ouevres. It was a black tie event at an elegant home with a $5 cover charge. Live music, lots of people and mingling. During the event, we showed a video about the Guatemala trip and asked for donations. Great fun was had by all and we earned enough money to buy supplies for the school we will help build.
