We had our shopping event on Sunday, knowing myself under-stress I'm sure I pissed off a few people making sure everything was going smoothingly, but in the end, it was worth it. The event went off with out a major hitch! The only bad thing is we didn't get as many people as we were hoping for :( but we did get lots of great "shoppers" including friends and family members! All the vendors donated their profits and than we split it between the four of us; Jason, Shannon, Dennis and I.
It did give us a great start on the fundraising platform. Lots more needs to be done. Hoping we will get some more during the holiday times too.
I did put up lots of left over baskets and household items I had laying around the house on craigslist to try and make more money too. I have already sold 3 candle holders for $30, good start!!!
The only pic I got of the baskets, I wish I would have taken more at the event, some great booths!!!!
Next up.. not sure, we want to do a bake sale, another open house, and a poker night in January.
The big thing is we owe $1300 each on December 15th.. better get on that :)
Our group has some really exciting fundraisers coming up, we are still raising the money for the library, we got our website up, and already have $2000 donation!

For the group we have a santa photo shoot on December 10th and a concert at a bar in Woodinville on the 15th, I will get more info!
Can't wait to help out on all of those too!
